Question

Which one of these words should not be used in the comparative or superlative degree? A. Wealthy B. Sweet C. Smart D. Absolute

Answer 1

D. Absolute

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute is not used in the comparative or superlative degree. It don't make any sense.

Answer 2

The word that should not be used in the comparative or superlative degree is D. absolute. The word absolute is already at the highest degree possible - nothing can be more or less absolute than something else, because it is already complete and perfect. You cannot say - It is the most absolute of all - because that would mean all things are absolute, which obviously is not true. Wealthy, smart, and sweet do have comparative and superlative degrees, but absolute doesn't.
