Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence: He is more wiser than his brother.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The original sentence contains a common error known as a double comparative.
Rule for Short Adjectives: In English, for short (one-syllable) adjectives like "wise," we form the comparative by adding -er (wise → wiser).
The Error: We use the word "more" for longer adjectives (e.g., more beautiful). Using both "more" and "-er" together (more wiser) is redundant and grammatically incorrect.
The Comparison: When comparing two people, we always use the conjunction "than" after the comparative adjective.
