Introduction to Superlative Adjectives
In cities around the world, social disparities often manifest most clearly in the unequal distribution of resources. The most impoverished neighborhoods tend to have the least access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. These areas are frequently portrayed as the most neglected and overlooked sections of society, highlighting the urgent need for reform. Superlative adjectives like 'most' emphasize the extremity of these disparities, drawing attention to issues that require immediate action.
