The correct answer is: "No other place I have seen is as beautiful as Istanbul."

Key Points

  • The original sentence "Istanbul is a beautiful city" is a positive statement describing the beauty of Istanbul.
  • To express this in the positive degree of comparison, we use the structure "more + adjective + than" when comparing to other places.
  • Therefore, "No place I have seen is more beautiful than Istanbul" conveys the idea that, among the places the speaker has visited, Istanbul is the most beautiful.
  • This construction emphasizes the positive quality of Istanbul's beauty without making a direct comparison to other places.
  • The positive degree is achieved by using "more" followed by the adjective ("beautiful") and "than" to indicate the comparison.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
