Question

List two examples of words that are considered superlatives. Write an example of a true-or-false test question that is true without a superlative but false with a superlative inserted. Explain why using the superlative makes the true sentence into a false one.

Answer 1

Two examples of superlative words:

- tallest

- smallest

True or False test question that is true without a superlative but false with a superlative inserted:

True or False? The tall person is 6 feet tall.

If I were to add a superlative word to this, it would be false.

SUPERLATIVE FALSE VERSION OF THE TRUE OR FALSE QUESTION:

True or False? The tallest person is 6 feet tall.

(False.)
