Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Esta cama es __________ que esa cama.
The correct answer is "peor." "Peor" is the comparative version of the adjective "mal," so "más mal" and "más peor" cannot exist in Spanish. Likewise because of the context, "la peor;" "the worst" cannot be used in a comparison, only as a superlative. "Peor" is an adjective that does not change based on gender, so "peora" is also wrong.

Which adjective, when used in the blank, creates a logical and grammatically correct sentence?
Los platos están __________, pues hay que lavarlos.
The correct answer is "sucios" (dirty) because it agrees in number and gender with "los platos" and because it makes sense in context. The answer choice "rotos" (broken) wouldn't make sense because there's no reason to wash broken plates.
English translation: "The plates are dirty, so one must wash them."

Which adjective properly completes the sentence?
No tengo hermanos; soy un hijo _______.
Both "único" (only) and "segundo" (second) agree in number and gender with "hijo;" however, only "único" (only) fits in context, as it would not make sense for someone to say that they are an "hijo segundo" (second child) if that person is claiming not to have any siblings.
English translation: "I do not have siblings; I am an only child."
