Which among the following sentences uses adjective with correct degree of comparison.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Comparative Degree: When comparing two items (New Delhi and Chandigarh), we use the comparative form of the adjective. For short adjectives like "hot," the comparative is formed by adding -er (hotter).
Avoiding Double Comparatives: You should never use "more" and "-er" together. "More hotter" is grammatically incorrect because it repeats the comparative function.
Correct Conjunction: In English comparisons, the word "than" is used to introduce the second item being compared. Using "to" is incorrect in this context (though "to" is used with specific Latin-rooted words like senior, junior, or superior).
