Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

the tallest girl

Solution :

The correct answer is the tallest girl.

Explanation:
In English grammar, super-lative adjectives are used to compare three or more people or things to show which has the highest degree of a quality.

For short (one-syllable) adjectives like tall, the superlative form is created by adding the suffix -est (e.g., tallest). Using both most and -est together creates a double superlative (e.g., "most tallest"), which is grammatically redundant and incorrect.

Therefore, "most tallest" should be corrected to the tallest.
Replacing "the most tallest girl" with "the tallest girl" makes the sentence grammatically correct:
"She is the tallest girl in our entire class."
