Here are the completed sentences with the correct comparative and superlative forms of the adjectives and adverbs provided:

  1. Hamilton is the fastest driver in the world today.
  2. Can you speak more slowly please? I can’t follow you.
  3. I work harder now than I used to.
  4. Miss Barber is the best teacher in the school.
  5. This exercise is less difficult than I thought it would be. I can do it!
    (Note: While "more difficult" is grammatically correct, the context "I can do it!" implies it was easier than expected, making "less difficult" the logical choice).
  6. I gave him the sweets because he asked the most politely of all the children.
  7. She’s happier doing this job than she was before. Now she’s always smiling.
  8. They have the prettiest garden in the neighbourhood. It won a prize last year.
  9. Penny was the least successful of all the students in that class. She didn’t work very hard at all.
    (Note: "Least successful" fits the context that she didn't work hard, though "most successful" is the grammatical superlative if the sentence implies natural talent).
