Back to paper

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.

Danny is the better basketball player in the team.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. best.

  • The sentence is comparing Danny's basketball skills to those of other players on the team.
  • The word "better" is a comparative adjective used to compare two things.
  • However, when comparing three or more things, the superlative form of the adjective should be used.
  • "Best" is the superlative form of the adjective "good" and is used to compare Danny's basketball skills to all other players on the team.

Thus, the corrected sentence would be:

Danny is the best basketball player in the team.
