If we were to assume that the house doesn't have a "library", the next most quiet part of the house should be the bedrooms. Uninterrupted sleep is important. If the home has a library or a "home office", either of these should be the quietest locations in the home.

Is merrily a superlative comparative or positive?

It is none of these, it's an adverb. As adjectives, merryis positive, merrier is compoarative and merriest is superlative.

Yes, but adverbs DO have degrees of comparison, therefore - "merrily" is positive.

What is the comparative and superlative degree of splendid?

In monosyllabic words, the comparative and the superlative are usually made by adding -er or -est respectively. For two syllables when the word ends in "y," change the "y" to an "i" and add -er and -est. For two syllables not ending in "y" and for words of more than two syllables, regardless of what they end in, the word is preceded by "more" or "most."

The word "splendid" is no exception. The comparative is "more splendid," and the superlative is "most splendid."
