Questions 1 - 2
1

Fill in the blank with the correct answer.

Esta cama es __________ que esa cama.

peor

más peor

más mal

peora

la peor

Explanation

The correct answer is "peor." "Peor" is the comparative version of the adjective "mal," so "más mal" and "más peor" cannot exist in Spanish. Likewise because of the context, "la peor;" "the worst" cannot be used in a comparison, only as a superlative. "Peor" is an adjective that does not change based on gender, so "peora" is also wrong.

2

el mejor perro

el perro mejor

el perro más bueno

el más buen perro
