What is the degree of comparison of the underlined modifier?

Damian is a talented basketball player.

A.
positive

B.
comparative

C.
superlative



Answer :

Assuming  that the modifier is talented, the answer is:

A. positive

The modifier is positive because it is saying something good about the person. It isn't comparative because it isn't comparing him to someone and its not superlative because it isn't saying that he's the most talented.
