Answer 1

Hint:The given sentence shows the use of ‘more attractive’ which indicates that the sentence shows a comparison between two women. Hence, we can conclude that it is a comparative sentence.

Complete answer:
 As given in the hint, we can see a comparative adjective in the given sentence- ‘More attractive’.
Adjectives are words that are used to modify or describe nouns. Example- Attractive girl.
A comparative degree of adjectives is used to show a comparison between two objects or things.
In the given question- We can understand that ‘X’ was wearing a wig that is described as far more attractive than the other woman’s natural hair.
Now, let’s examine the given options-
Option a- ‘A’ is a phrase that includes a subject and a verb. It does not include any grammatical errors. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option b- ‘B’ includes the comparative degree of an adjective, ‘more attractive’. We can see the incorrect use of ‘when’. Hence, it is the correct option.
Option c- ‘C’ does not include any grammatical errors. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option d- ‘D’ does not have any grammatical errors. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
The correct answer is Option ‘b’. The sentence should have been- She was wearing a wig that was far more attractive than the other woman who had her own natural hair.

Note:
 Keep in mind, we use ‘than’ in comparative degree of adjectives to represent comparison between two nouns or pronouns.
