    Solution

    II- Here, the superlative degree should be used as it compares the house with each and every house in the street. The superlative degree of ‘prominent’ is ‘most prominent’. Our house is the most prominent one in the street; it's painted red. III- Here, ‘billiards’ is the name of a game and it is a singular noun. So, ‘billiards is’ is correct. Billiards is a game played on a rectangular table with a designated number of small balls and a long stick called a cue.
