Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
He is more tall than his brother.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. taller than.
Changes required:
Degree of comparison: The word “more tall” is incorrect because for short adjectives like “tall”, we use the comparative form “taller”.
Usage: In comparative sentences, we use “than” after the comparative adjective, so the correct phrase is “taller than”.
Converted sentence: He is taller than his brother
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
