Detailed Solution

  • The positive degree of the clever word is clever itself, but within the given sentence, we are alleged to make a comparison using the positive degree of the word with other boys. Therefore, the suitable answer option is ‘as clever as’ because it uses the positive degree of comparison of the adjective.
  •  ‘As clever as’ here used  to compare boy one with another.
  • Option A could be a positive degree adjective but is inaccurate because the sentence ‘the boy is clever the opposite boys, makes no sense.
  • Option C, cleverer, is inappropriate because it is a comparative degree of comparison or the second degree.
  • Option D, ‘the cleverest among,’ uses the superlative degree of comparison. Therefore, option D is also incorrect. 
  • Hence, option B is the correct answer.
