Identify the sentence which has the correct use of the underlined word.

(underlined word: heaviest)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

A superlative like "heaviest" compares one item with all others in a group and takes "the" plus "of/in": "Lead is the heaviest of all metals" is correct. "As heaviest as" wrongly uses the superlative in an equal comparison, "a heaviest boy" pairs it with the wrong article, and "heaviest than" mixes superlative with comparative structure.
