Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → B
An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where or how much something happens. It can also describe an adjective or another adverb, for example she sings sweetly, very hot.
Adverbs before a comparative:
- A comparative adjective (prettier, taller, better) is made stronger with much, far or a lot, not with "very".
- This sentence: "prettier" is already a comparative, so much prettier.
