Ashoka was one of the greatest Indian rulers.
Identify the correct positive degree of the above sentence.

The correct answer is Option A (Very few Indian rulers were as great as Ashoka.).

Key Points:
• Superlative: Subject + verb + one of the + superlative adjective + plural noun.
• Comparative: Subject + verb + comparative adjective + than most other / many other + plural noun.
• Positive: Very few + plural noun + plural verb + as + positive adjective + as + subject.
• Option 1 (Very few Indian rulers were as great as Ashoka).
• When converting 'one of the greatest' to positive degree, it must begin with 'Very few' followed by the plural noun and plural verb: 'Very few Indian rulers were as great as Ashoka.'
• 'No other...' is used only when the superlative is 'the greatest' (without 'one of the').
• Key Takeaway: Superlative sentences containing 'one of the' transform into positive degree starting with 'Very few'.
