Select the correct positive degree of the above.

The correct answer is "No other girl in the class is as dull as she."

Key Points

• The positive degree of comparison is not used to make any comparisons.
• It is just used to state the quality possessed by a particular noun or pronoun that acts as the subject in a sentence.
  • In the given sentence, the subject is " the girl."
•  An adjective or adverb that does not make a comparison is said to be in a positive degree.
  • In the given sentence, the word "dull" will be in a positive degree. Thus, option 2 is incorrect.

• We can use the positive degree of comparison as follows:

  • Using the as ‘adjective’ as form. This form can also be used to indicate a negative sentence. Thus, option 1 will be eliminated.

• In option 3, a comparison has been made between the subject and other girls. Thus, it will be incorrect.

Hence, it can be concluded that the correct answer is option 4.
