The correct answer is: It was probably the happiest afternoon of her life

Key Points

 

  • A superlative degree of comparison is used to compare more than two things or people and show which one is the highest or lowest in degree.
  • To form the superlative degree, we add '-est' to the end of the adjective or use 'most' before the adjective.
  • In this sentence, we need to compare the level of happiness in different afternoons of the person's life and show which one was the highest.
  • 'Happiest' is the superlative form of the adjective 'happy'.

Hence Option 4 is the correct answer.
