Hint:

For sentences containing “one of the best”, always convert them using:
Very few + plural noun + are as + positive adjective + as + subject.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Degree of Comparison.
The given sentence is in the Superlative Degree form.
The phrase “one of the best” shows that Gitesh belongs to the top group of players in the college.
Step 2: Rule for Transformation into Positive Degree.
When a sentence is in the form “one of the best”, its Positive Degree transformation follows the pattern:
Very few + plural noun + are as + positive adjective + as + subject.
So, “one of the best football players” becomes
“Very few football players are as good as Gitesh.”
Step 3: Checking the Options.
(A) Incorrect because “No other” is used when transforming a direct superlative statement, not “one of the best.”
(B) Incorrect because “as better as” is grammatically incorrect.
(C) Incorrect because “as best as” is wrong since “best” is a superlative form.
(D) Correct because it follows the proper rule of Positive Degree transformation.
Step 4: Final Conclusion.
Hence, the correct transformation into Positive Degree is:
Very few football players in the college are as good as Gitesh.
