Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: excellent
Explanation: Use the positive adjective "excellent" to describe "command" here. The complete sentence is: If you work hard, you will have an excellent command of the language very soon.
Key points
Include the article "an" before "excellent" because it begins with a vowel sound: "an excellent command."
"most excellent" is a superlative and would normally be used with "the" ("the most excellent"). It implies comparison with all others and is not required here.
"more excellent" is awkward and unnecessary; if expressing a comparative idea, use "more fluent" or "better."
"much excellent" is ungrammatical. Use alternatives such as "a much better command" or "much more fluent" to convey greater degree.
Brief summary: "excellent" is the natural, grammatical choice for the sentence; other forms are either superlative, comparative, or ungrammatical in this context.
