Many of your answers are correct. But you've mixed up superlative and comparative in these phrases:
6, 15, 4, 7, 10
Rewrite the sentence or phrase using comparative form of the adverb
1. Approach slowly. = Approach more slowly.
2. Get well. = Get better.
5. Come quickly. = Come more quickly.
6. favorably received = most favorably received
8. far away = farther away
9. come soon = come sooner
15. listened calmly = listened most calmly
These next are in superlative form
3. far from my mind = furthest from my mind
4. finely carved = more finely carved
7. ran fast = ran faster
10. went smoothly = went more smoothly
These are in neg comparative form
11. worked industriously = worked less industriously
14. settled comfortably = settled less comfortably
These are in neg superlative
12. reacted affectionately = reacted least affectionately
13. answered intelligently = answered least intelligently
