Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the bold segment in the given sentence.

    She is the most tallest person in the class.

    A the tallest person Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B the more tall person Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C the most tall person Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D the tall person Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word "tallest" is the superlative form of "tall," so using "most" with "tallest" is incorrect. The correct form should simply be "tallest" without "most." Therefore, "She is the tallest person in the class" is the correct option. Options 2 and 3 use incorrect forms of comparison, and option 4 lacks the superlative form needed to describe the highest degree of tallness.
