Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

He is ______ poorer than all his friends.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. much

  • "Much" is used to intensify the degree of the adjective "poorer." It emphasizes that the difference in wealth between him and his friends is significant.

  • "Much" is commonly used with comparative adjectives (like "poorer") to show a large difference.

So, in the sentence "He is much poorer than all his friends," "much" makes it clear that he is considerably poorer in comparison to his friends.
