SSC MTS - 08/10/2024 - (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM) • English • Q68

Change the following sentence into positive degree.

Yash is not better than Harsh.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Yash is as good as Harsh.

Degree of Comparison Concept:This question is based on transformation from comparative degree to positive degree of adjectives.

Given sentence (Comparative Degree):
Yash is not better than Harsh.

  • The adjective used is “better” (comparative form of “good”).

  • When transforming this to the positive degree, we express equality (or lack of superiority) without comparing two things as “more” or “less”.

Rule:'X is not better than Y' → 'X is as good as Y'
This transformation maintains the same meaning in positive degree using “as + adjective + as”.

Final Sentence (Positive Degree):Yash is as good as Harsh.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
