Question:

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.

The truck picked up more then the usual amount of garbage from our neighbourhood.

Options:

greater then

more than

much than

No improvement required

Correct Answer:

more than

Explanation:

The correct option is more than.

The word more is used to compare two quantities or amounts. In this case, the sentence is saying that the truck picked up more garbage than usual. This means that the truck picked up a greater quantity of garbage than it usually does.

The other options are not correct.

  • Greater than is a more formal way of saying more. However, it is not necessary to use this form in this sentence.
  • Much than is not a correct form of the word more.
  • No improvement required is not correct because the underlined part of the sentence contains a grammatical error.
