Explanation:

Response
Question 1
Brief Explanations

The verb "is" is a linking verb, so we need an adjective to describe the subject "one headlight". "Brighter" is the comparative form of the adjective "bright", while "more brightly" is an adverbial comparative form. So we choose "brighter".

Brief Explanations

The verb "spoke" is an action verb, and we need an adverb to modify it. "Kindly" is an adverb, while "kind" is an adjective. So we choose "kindly".

Brief Explanations

The noun "season" needs an adjective to modify it. "Busiest" is the superlative form of the adjective "busy", while "most busily" is an adverbial superlative form. So we choose "busiest".

Answer:

brighter
