The weathermen felt that it was more hotter today.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. hotter.
- The original sentence, "The weathermen felt that it was more hotter today," does contain a comparison with "more," but when comparing the degree of hotness, the correct form is simply "hotter."
- Thus, "more" is extra here and needs to be removed.
