b) She is the most talented singer in the competition.
c) She is the talentest singer in the competition.
d) She is the talenter singer in the competition.
ANSWER: b) She is the most talented singer in the competition.
EXPLANATION:
The correct sentence that uses the comparative form is:
b) She is the most talented singer in the competition.
This sentence is correct because it follows the standard comparative form for adjectives. When comparing two or more items, the comparative form is used to indicate that one item has a higher degree of the described quality than the others.
In this case, the adjective "talented" is being compared among the singers in the competition. The comparative form of "talented" is "more talented" or "most talented." The superlative form, "most talented," is used when comparing one item against all the others in a group.
Option b correctly uses the superlative form "most talented" to indicate that she is the singer with the highest degree of talent among all the competitors in the competition.
