Q: 'The worst student' is the student who is bad at things. In this case, 'worst' simply describes the noun. Following this logic, your 'worst enemy' would be the person who is very bad at being your enemy, thus is actually your best friend. Your 'worst enemy' is actually the enemy who is very good at being your enemy. Thus, in this context, 'worst' acts to amplify the inherent negative intent of the noun. 'Worst disaster' would be another example of this. Is this just a matter of context or there some science behind the interprettation of a negative adjective applied to a negative noun?.

A: Don't confuse English language with the mathematical theory. The adjective worst qualifies the noun enemy with even more bad values. So, a worst enemy is more dangerous than a normal enemy.

Q: The past tense of run is ran. However, you couldn't say something was being 'ran' poorly i.e. the business was ran poorly. However, saying 'runned' would be wrong as well. What would be the word to use in this instance: The government will be prevented from being ____ properly.

A: The passive voice in English uses the past participle, not the simple past. Sing-sang-sung. Song being sung. Ring-rang-rung. Bell being rung. Do-did-done. Deeds being done. Speak-spoke-spoken. Word being spoken. Break-broke-broken. Rules being broken. Run-ran-run. Government being run. (Your confusion probably stems from the fact that for many verbs, the past participle and the simple past are identical, as in make-made-made, play-played-played, etc.)
