A.rich
B.most richest
C.richest
D.most rich

Answer 1

Hint:The word "the" is used when referring to something specific, say a person or a thing, or a particular quality of someone or something.so we are using “the” as the specifying word to write the sentence.So we need to check the options.

Complete answer:
The word "the" is used when referring to something specific, say a person or a thing, or a particular quality of someone or something.
Thus as per the structure of the question, we have to use the superlative degree of the adjective "rich".
The superlative degree adjective of "rich" is "richest".

Therefore the correct complete sentence is : Who is the RICHEST man in the world?

 The option A is incorrect : It is not used because the rich are not used because we are not using superlative degrees.

The option B is incorrect : that is the richest is not used because it will not sound good for the correct sentence if we are not using it.

The Option C is correct : because richest is the correct word that is used in the sentence as said above.

 The Option D is incorrect : not used because it will not be used as this is not the appropriate word for completing the sentence

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:The word we are using is used for referring to specific thing.Here ew are using the Superlative degree concept this is the main thing that we are using for the answer.And make sure that the option given in the question matches exactly and correct.So we need to read the sentence carefully and answer it using exact option.
