(2) What are the same characteristics that puppy loves and soap bubbles share according to the sentence?

(1) What does this sentence imply? (= To me, a love affair was the most serious thing.) (2) Analyze this sentence grammatically. (=The structure “nothing can be more (+adj.) than sth.” means sth. is the most (=adj.). When the comparative degree is used in a negative sentence, most often it means the superlative degree. More examples: *Nobody can do the job better than he can. *It can’t be worse.) 4.
