<em>a. "Tall" </em>

Angelina Jolie is <u><em>taller</em></u> than Kirsten Steward. But Keira Knightley is the <em><u>tallest </u></em>of them all.

Gerard Pique is <u><em>taller </em></u>than Arjen Robben. But Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the <em><u>tallest </u></em>of them all.

<em>b. "short". </em>

<em>d. "beautiful"</em>.

I think that Kirsten is <u><em>more beautiful</em></u> than Angelina. But Keira is the <u><em>most beautiful</em></u> of all.

In terms of looks, though we don't use "beautiful" to describe males, as the question requires it, I will be using it here.

For me, I think Ibrahimovic looks <u><em>more beautiful</em></u> than Robben but Pique is the <u><em>most beautiful</em></u> of the three.

<em>e. "good". </em>

I think that Keira is a <u><em>better </em></u>actress than Kirsten. But Angelina is the <u><em>best </em></u>of all.

I think that Pique is a <u><em>better </em></u>player than Robben. But Ibrahimovic is the <u><em>best </em></u>player of all.

<em>f. "bad". </em>

According to me, Keira's acting is <u><em>worse </em></u>than Angelina’s. But Kirsten's acting is the <u><em>worst </em></u>of all.

For me, Robben's football skills are <u><em>worse </em></u>than Ibrahimovic. But Pique's moves are the <u><em>worst </em></u>of all.

<em>g. "young". </em>

Keira is <u><em>younger </em></u>than Angelina but Kirsten is the <u><em>youngest </em></u>of all.

Robben is <u><em>younger </em></u>than Ibrahimovic but Pique is the <u><em>youngest </em></u>of all.

<em>h. "old". </em>

Keira is <u><em>older </em></u>than Kirsten but Angelina is the <u><em>oldest </em></u>among the three actresses.

Robben is <u><em>older </em></u>than Pique but Ibrahimovic is the <u><em>oldest </em></u>player among the three.  

Explanation:

The comparative and superlative degrees are the varying degrees of adjectives that provide comparisons between things. While the comparative form is used for two things, the superlative degree is used when the comparison is between two or more things.

The personalities to be compared are the actresses Kirsten Steward, Keira Knightley, and Angelina Jolie in one section and the soccer players Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Arjen Robben, and Gerard Pique in the other section.

<em>a. "Tall" - taller, tallest</em>

Angelina Jolie is taller than Kirsten Steward. But Keira Knightley is the tallest of them all.

Gerard Pique is taller than Arjen Robben. But Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the tallest of them all.

<em>b. "short" - shorter, shortest</em>

Angelina Jolie is shorter than Keira Knightley. But Kirsten Steward is the shortest of them all.

Pique is shorter than Ibrahimovic. But Robben is the shortest of them all.

<em>c. "long".- longer, longest</em>

Keira Knightley has lived longer than Kirsten. But Angelina has lived the longest of all.

Robben has lived longer than Pique but Ibrahimovic has lived the longest of all three.

<em>d. "beautiful"</em>.- <em>more beautiful, most beautiful.</em>

I think that Kirsten is more beautiful than Angelina. But Keira is the most beautiful of all.

In terms of looks, though we don't use "beautiful" to describe males, as the question requires it, I will be using it here.

For me, I think Ibrahimovic looks more beautiful than Robben but Pique is the most beautiful of the three.

<em>e. "good".- better, best.</em>

I think that Keira is a better actress than Kirsten. But Angelina is the best of all.

I think that Pique is a better player than Robben. But Ibrahimovic is the best player of all.

<em>f. "bad"- worse, worst.</em>

According to me, Keira's acting is worse than Angelina’s. But Kirsten's acting is the worse of all.

For me, Robben's football skills are worse than Ibrahimovic. But Pique's moves are the worse of all.

<em>g. "young".- younger, youngest.</em>

Keira is younger than Angelina but Kirsten is the youngest of all.

Robben is younger than Ibrahimovic but Pique is the youngest of all.

<em>h. "old".- older, oldest.</em>

Keira is older than Kirsten but Angelina is the oldest among the three actresses.

Robben is older than Pique but Ibrahimovic is the oldest player among the three.

Think about all of the characters Wells includes in The Time Machine; how would you evaluate Wells’s character development in th
kodGreya [7K]

HG Wells develops his characters in a very coherent and objective way in the story, allowing each character to extend the reader's understanding of the text.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Wells is a very effective author in character development.
  • This is because he allows each character to show a different aspect of the story that allows the reader to have a greater understanding of all elements of the narrative.
  • In the time traveler, for example, we can see the importance of science, the dangers of observing strange worlds, and the adaptability of human beings.
  • Weena's development shows the need for contact and evolution without responsibility, furthermore, it shows how advancement and high evolution can trigger negative characteristics.
  • The development of the Morlocks shows the reader the strength of the working class and the danger of neglecting it.

In this case, we can see that in "The Time Machine," Wells uses character development to show specific elements and characteristics of society and human life in general.
