Which statement describes the positive degree?

• A. It states a quantity clearly.
• B. It describes a comparison between two.
• C. It expresses a quality with no comparison.
• D. It marks the most extreme degree.

Answer: (C)

In grammar, the positive degree is the base form of an adjective or adverb that describes a quality without making any comparison. It simply states that something has that quality. For example, “bright” describes the quality of brightness without saying more or less than another thing. This distinguishes it from the comparative form (which compares two things) and the superlative form (which marks the highest degree among a group). It also isn’t about quantity. The statement that expresses a quality with no comparison is the correct one. The other options describe quantity, a comparison, or the highest degree, which belong to other forms.
