The Zootopia police station wants to choose the Best Officer of the Year. There are four officers: Judy, Nick, Bogo and Clawhauser.

Judy Hopps is the smallest officer, but she is very brave and hard-working. She is braver than Nick and more hard-working than Clawhauser. She always tries to help and never gives up.

Nick Wilde is clever, calm and funny. He is cleverer than Clawhauser and funnier than Bogo. He is good at finding answers to difficult problems.

Chief Bogo is the biggest and strongest officer. He is stricter and more serious than the others. He does not smile very often, but he is fair and good at his job.

Officer Clawhauser works at the front desk. He is not the strongest officer, but he is the friendliest and the most cheerful. He likes helping people at the police station.

All four officers are different. Who is the best officer?

We use superlatives to compare three or more and say who or what is the most.\n\n**Form:**

short adjectives: adjective + -er / -est
small → smaller → the smallest
adjectives ending in -e: add -r / -st
brave → braver → the bravest
adjectives ending in consonant + y: change y to i
friendly → friendlier → the friendliest
some two-syllable adjectives: add -er / -est
clever → cleverer → the cleverest
longer adjectives: use more / the most
more serious, the most serious
more hard-working, the most hard-working
irregular adjectives:
good → better → the best
bad → worse → the worst

\n\n**Examples:**

Judy is smaller than Bogo.
Clawhauser is friendlier than Bogo.
Nick is cleverer than Clawhauser.
Bogo is more serious than Nick.
Judy is the bravest officer.
