A superlative adjective expresses the extreme or highest degree of quality. Thus, we use superlatives to describe an extreme quality of something in comparison to a group. The group we are comparing to can be omitted if it is clear in the context. Regarding the superlative degree of adjectives in English, analyze the statements. I. When using the superlative adjective before a noun, the article 'the' must be used. II. The formation of adjectives in the superlative is similar to that of comparatives. III. In the comparative, we use '-ier/-er'; in the superlative, we use '-iest/-est'. IV. Some adjectives use the addition of '-est' or 'the most' before them. Choose the correct alternative.


a) I, II, III, and IV.
