    Solution

    A report by the medical journal The Lancet shows that India's vulnerability to most extreme heat increased 15 per cent from 1990 to 2019, and that India is among the top five countries where vulnerable people, like the old and the poor, have the highest exposure to heat. Here, the rule is that certain adjectives like Unique, ideal, perfect, complete, universal, entire, extreme, chief, square and round, do not really admit of comparison because their meaning is already superlative.
