DEGREES OF COMPARISON
The
Degrees of Comparison in English grammar are made with the Adjective and Adverb
words to show how big or small, high or low, more or less, many or few, etc.,
of the qualities, numbers and positions of the nouns (persons, things and
places) in comparison to the others mentioned in the other part of a sentence
or expression.

The Pasitive Degree is used to denote the mere existence of quality.The
Positive Degree of an adjective in comparison is the adjective in its simple

§ Apple is sweet to taste.
§ Very few Indian saints were as popular as
Vivekananda.

things.The Comparative Degree denotes the existence of a higher degree of the

building.

§ Vivekananda was more popular than most other
Indian saints.

Lion Air ground-handling permit suspended
The Transportation Ministry has suspended the
ground-handling permit of the country's largest low-cost carrier Lion Air at
Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Banten, as a result of the airline’s
alleged mishandling of its passengers last week.
In an official letter seen by The Jakarta Post, the
ministry cited the Aviation Law, Ministerial Decree No. 55/2015 on airports, as
well as Ministerial Decree No. 56/2015 on the airport business as the basis of
the sanction. The sanction
will be effective as of May 22.
The ministry imposed the sanction following an
incident on May 10 when a bus transporting 40 Lion Air passengers from
Singapore was misdirected to Terminal 1 for domestic flights instead of the
international Terminal 2, hence allowing at least 16 passengers to skip
immigration checks.
Four passengers remained unable to be contacted by
immigration and customs authorities as of Monday. One of whom is a foreign
national from Hungary.
However,
when contacted, Lion Air spokesperson Andy Saladin said that the airline had
not received the letter.
He declined to comment on the issue, including who would
provide ground-handling services for Lion Air passengers at the airport during
the suspension.( dmr )
