Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement for the use of a superlative.

1. That is the strongest argument anyone can make. - True (uses "strongest," which is a superlative form of "strong").

2. I would like to point out a flaw in that logic. - False (does not contain a superlative).

3. There might be a better way to approach this problem. - False (uses "better," which is a comparative, not a superlative).

4. That is the worst argument I’ve ever heard. - True (uses "worst," which is a superlative form of "bad").

So, the true/false responses would be:

1. True
2. False
3. False
4. True
