Question

Find in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A video set is ______ than a television set.
A) More expensive
B) Expensive
C) Most expensive
D) the most expensive

Answer 1

Hint: Adjectives are the words that describe the qualities or state of being of nouns. For example: beautiful, nicer, adorable etc.

Complete answer:
Option A) More expensive – is the correct answer because ‘more’ is used to compare two or more things. We use more to indicate that there is a greater amount of something than before or than something else. Thus. This is the best fit in the sentence because here the video set is being compared to the television set. Thus, more expensive is the correct answer.
Option B) Expensive – is an incorrect answer because ‘expensive’ means costing a lot of money but it is not used to compare things. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Most expensive – is an incorrect answer because we use ‘most’ to talk about the qualities or amount or degree. We can use most with a noun or without a noun. We can also use ‘most’ with adjectives or adverbs to form the superlatives. Thus, the use of most is inappropriate in this sentence. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) the most expensive – is an incorrect answer because the use of ‘the most’ is when we talk about the majority of something in general. Thus, this is an incorrect answer because there is no majority in the sentence.

Hence, the correct answer is Option’ A’.

Note: More is used when referring to a greater or additional amount or degree. Most, on the other hand, is used when referring to greatest in amount or degree. The key difference between more and most is that while more is considered as a comparative form, most is considered the superlative form. So, Option A is the most appropriate answer as compared to other options.
