Question

Ed's solution to paying for the recycling program expenses was the _______ of all the plans proposed.

Which word or phrase best completes the sentence above?
A.
idealest
B.
most ideal
C.
more ideal
D.
idealer

Answer 1

Answer:

most ideal

Explanation:

The word "ideal" is an adjective that is used here to describe Ed's solution. Since the plan is being compared to every plan presented, the superlative form of "ideal" should be used. The word "ideal" has more than two syllables, so the word most should be placed before the adjective to make the superlative form of "ideal," like this: most ideal.
