What degree of comparison is used in this sentence The audience became quiet as the character spoke.?

The sentence "The audience became quiet as the character spoke" doesn't use a degree of comparison.

Here's why:

* Degrees of comparison are used to compare things (adjectives and adverbs). They are usually expressed as:

* Positive: The base form (e.g., quiet)

* Comparative: Comparing two things (e.g., quieter)

* Superlative: Comparing three or more things (e.g., quietest)

* In the sentence, "quiet" is used as an adjective describing the state of the audience. It's not comparing the audience's quietness to anything else.
