Understanding the Underlined Modifier

Worst is the underlined word in the sentence. The degree of comparison of an adjective or adverb indicates the quality or quantity of the thing being talked about. In this case, we need to determine whether the degree of comparison of 'worst' is positive, superlative, or comparative.

I'm pretty sure it's B. superlative because 'worst' is underlined and the definition of superlative is "of the highest quality or degree". In this context, 'worst' represents the highest degree of bad. Therefore, it fits the criteria of being a superlative.
