Junaid works _____of the three of us.
a) Much
b) More
c) Most
d) Many

Answer 1

Hint: An adverb is used to modify or provide descriptive information about a verb, an adjective, or a verb phrase.

Complete answer:
Let’s study about the degrees of comparison of adverbs-
1)Adverbs and adjectives have the same degrees of comparison: The positive degree, comparative degree, and superlative degree.
2)Very few adverbs are compared by the means of the ending ‘er’ and ‘est’. Example- Soon, sooner and soonest.
3)The adverbs ending in ‘ly’ are compared by adding ‘more’ and ‘most’. Example- Quickly, more quickly, and most quickly.
4)We use the superlative degree of adverbs to show a comparison of a single person or a thing with two or more things.
Now, let’s examine the given options:
a)Much- It refers to a large amount. Much is used with singular nouns. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
b)More- It refers to adding or increasing something. More is the comparative degree form of much. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
c)Most- It refers to something that is greatest in amount. Most is the superlative degree form of much. Hence, it is the correct option.
d)Many- It refers to something that is innumerable. “Many” is used with plural nouns. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
The correct answer is Option ‘c’.

Note: Several adverbs tend to have irregular comparisons. Example- Little, less, least.
