Question

Accepted Answer

### Question 1
# Brief Explanations:
The phrase "do one's best work" is a common idiom meaning to perform at one's highest level of ability. So "best" is correct here.
# Answer:
Willie should do his \underline{best} work for the project.

### Question 2
# Brief Explanations:
The word "than" indicates a comparison between two things (today's cold and yesterday's cold). "Better" is the comparative form of "good", while "good" is the positive form. For a comparison, we use the comparative form.
# Answer:
My cold is \underline{better} today than it was yesterday.

### Question 3
# Brief Explanations:
The word "than" shows a comparison between Sheila and "I" as dancers. "Better" is the comparative form, and "best" is the superlative form (used when comparing three or more things). Since we are comparing two people, we use the comparative form "better".
# Answer:
Sheila was a \underline{better} dancer than I was last year.

### Question 4
# Brief Explanations:
The word "than" indicates a comparison between Sam's answer and "ours". We need the comparative form of "good", which is "better". "Good" is the positive form and not used for comparisons with "than".
# Answer:
Sam's answer was a \underline{better} answer than ours.

### Question 5
# Brief Explanations:
The word "than" shows a comparison between "I" and Sherry as singers. We use the comparative form of "good" (which is "better") for comparing two people. "Best" is the superlative form and is used for comparing three or more.
# Answer:
I thought I was a \underline{better} singer than Sherry.

### Question 6
# Brief Explanations:
The word "than" indicates a comparison between our job and the job of others. We need the comparative form of "good", which is "better". "Good" is the positive form and not suitable for this comparison.
# Answer:
We did a \underline{better} job than anyone else.

### Question 7
# Brief Explanations:
The phrase "do one's best work" is an idiom meaning to do work at the highest level of one's ability. So "best" is the correct choice here, as "good" would not fit the idiomatic expression.
# Answer:
Richard does his \underline{best} work in science.

### Question 8
# Brief Explanations:
The word "than" shows a comparison between her ability in sewing and her ability in golf. We need the comparative form of "good", which is "better". "Good" is the positive form and not used for comparisons with "than".
# Answer:
She is much \underline{better} at sewing than golf.

### Question 9
# Brief Explanations:
The phrase "in the family" implies a comparison among all the family members (more than two people). The superlative form of "good" is "best" (used for comparing three or more things), while "better" is the comparative form (used for two things). So we use "best" here.
# Answer:
My mother is the \underline{best} cook in the family.

### Question 10
# Brief Explanations:
The phrase "in the family" implies a comparison among all the family members (more than two people). The superlative form of "bad" is "worst" (used for comparing three or more things), while "worse" is the comparative form (used for two things). So we use "worst" here.
# Answer:
My brother is the \underline{worst} cook in the family.

### Question 11
# Brief Explanations:
The word "than" shows a comparison between Ruth and "she" as writers. We use the comparative form of "good", which is "better". "Best" is the superlative form and is used for comparing three or more people or things.
# Answer:
Ruth is a \underline{better} writer than she is.

### Question 12
# Brief Explanations:
For the first blank, we are describing "I" as a singer without a direct comparison to one other person (just a general description of being a bad singer), so we use the positive form "bad". For the second blank, we are comparing "you" to "I" (two people), so we use the comparative form of "bad", which is "worse". "Worst" is the superlative form and would be used for comparing three or more.
# Answer:
I thought I was a \underline{bad} singer, but you are \underline{worse}.

### Question 13
# Brief Explanations:
The word "than" indicates a comparison between "my idea" and "his idea" (two ideas). The comparative form of "bad" is "worse", while "worst" is the superlative form (used for three or more things). So we use "worse" here.
# Answer:
My idea is \underline{worse} than his.

### Question 14
# Brief Explanations:
We are given two choices, so we are comparing two things. The comparative form of "good" is "better", while "best" is the superlative form (used for three or more things). So we use "better" here.
# Answer:
Given two choices, which is \underline{better}?

### Question 15
# Brief Explanations:
If we assume a comparison (maybe with others or a previous state, or just a general description of being bad at golf), but since there's no "than" (which would require a comparative), and if it's a general description, "bad" is the positive form. However, if there is an implied comparison (like compared to other sports or a previous time), but from the sentence structure, "bad" is more appropriate as a positive form describing his ability in golf. Wait, actually, if we consider a possible comparison (maybe with another person or his ability in another sport), but the sentence as is: "Jimmy is (bad, worse) in golf." If it's a general statement, "bad" is correct. If there was a "than" (like "worse than in tennis"), but here, without a "than", "bad" is the positive form. But maybe the intended comparison is with a previous state or another person, but the sentence structure is simple. So "bad" is the correct positive form, or if there's an implied comparison (like he is worse in golf than in something else, but the sentence doesn't show that). Wait, maybe the question is expecting "bad" as the positive form. Let's check: "bad" is the positive form of the adjective, "worse" is comparative. Since the sentence doesn't have a "than", "bad" is correct.
# Answer:
Jimmy is \underline{bad} in golf.
