Select the most appropriate superlative adjective form to fill in the blanks.

What’s ___ book you’ve ever read?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. the most interesting.

Context: The sentence asks for the superlative form because it refers to the highest degree of interest among all books ever read.

Meaning of the words:

  • The interesting – incorrect, does not express a superlative.

  • More interesting – comparative form, used when comparing two items, not all books.

  • The most interesting – superlative form, correct for expressing the highest degree among many.

  • Interesting – simple adjective, does not convey comparison or superlative.

Correct word: The most interesting, because the sentence is about the book that stands out above all others in interest.

Final Sentence: What’s the most interesting book you’ve ever read?

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
