  More
- C.

- D.

C. Most

Explanation
To make a superlative form of an adjective, we use the word "most." This is because when comparing multiple things or people, "most" indicates the highest degree or level of the adjective. For example, if we have the adjective "beautiful," the superlative form would be "most beautiful," indicating the highest level of beauty among a group. Therefore, "most" is the correct choice for creating a superlative form of an adjective.

B. Definite

Explanation
The article "The" is used to refer to a specific noun or group of nouns that are already known or have been mentioned before. It is used to indicate that the noun is definite and not just any noun. For example, "The cat is sleeping" implies that there is a specific cat that is being referred to, not just any cat. Therefore, the correct answer is "Definite".

An irregular verb changes its base form.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
An irregular verb is a verb that does not follow the regular conjugation patterns in a language. Instead, it changes its base form, also known as the infinitive form, when it is conjugated in different tenses or forms. This can involve changes in the spelling, pronunciation, or both. Examples of irregular verbs in English include "go" (base form) which changes to "went" in the past tense, and "eat" (base form) which changes to "ate" in the past tense. Therefore, the statement "An irregular verb changes its base form" is true.

Would and should are helping verbs.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because "would" and "should" are both modal verbs, which are a type of helping verb. Modal verbs are used to express possibility, necessity, or ability, and they often appear before the main verb in a sentence. In this case, "would" and "should" are helping verbs that indicate conditional or hypothetical actions or obligations. Therefore, the correct answer is true.
