Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 2)

Key Points

In the second part of the given sentence, the article 'a' is incorrect.
The correct usage should be 'the' before the superlative adjective 'sweetest'.
Therefore, the corrected part should be 'the sweetest of'.

Hence, the correct statement should be: Ms. Rose is the sweetest of all the girls in the class.
Additional Information

Articles 'a', 'an', and 'the' are used before nouns or adjectives to specify or generalize them.
Use 'the' before superlative adjectives (e.g., the tallest, the sweetest).
Use 'a' or 'an' before singular, countable nouns when referring to them in a general sense (e.g., a book, an apple).
