Resolution:

• The task requires understanding and applying the superlative form of adjectives in English, which is typically formed by adding '-est' to the adjective or by preceding it with 'the most'.
• The provided examples demonstrate this rule for 'small', 'big', and 'funny'.
• Irregular adjectives like 'good' and 'bad' have unique superlative forms ('best' and 'worst' respectively).
• The exercise '14' asks to circle specific adjectives from a list, likely those that are already in their superlative form or can be easily identified as comparative or superlative.
