Select the most appropriate adjective to fill in the blank.

The orator declared that the women are ___________ than the men.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. more intelligent.

Context: The sentence is: “The orator declared that the women are ___________ than the men.”
The blank compares women and men, so the adjective must be in comparative form.

Meaning of the words:

  • more intelligent – correct comparative form; indicates higher intelligence in comparison.

  • intelligenter – incorrect form; not standard English.

  • most intelligent – superlative form; compares within a group, not between two entities.

  • intelligent – positive form; does not indicate comparison.

Correct word: more intelligent

Final Sentence: The orator declared that the women are more intelligent than the men.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
