Identify the degree of comparison for the adjective in the following sentence: The Gothic building was totally destroyed in the fire.
English has two forms of comparison (apart from the word in its standard form, sometimes called the positive degree, with as...as): comparative, with the ending -er (for example "taller" ) and the superlative, with the ending "-est", for example "tallest".
"totally destroyed" is neither comparative nor superlative, so it's positive!
