Identify the one illogical comparison among the following examples. the uniforms we saw last night are the best that i’ve seen. of all the sports teams at our high school, the boys soccer team has the oldest uniforms. our purple and green striped uniforms are the most ugliest in the whole league. of all the high school volleyball teams, the one from that school always has the newest uniforms.

Our purple and green striped uniforms are the most ugliest in the whole league.

Explanation:

This is the sentence that employs comparatives wrongly. When we compare two things, we need to change the structure of the adjective. In some words, this will mean an addition of the suffix "-er" and "-est." However, in other cases, we will need to employ the words "more" and "most." It is important to remember that in no cases should we use both of these structures. This sentence is wrong precisely because of this. The correct form would be:

"Our purple and green striped uniforms are the ugliest in the whole league."

the flighty purpose never is o'ertook / unless the deed go with it"

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
