Fill in the blank with appropriate adverb:-
"Ghanshyam can run _____ better than I do. He is a professional runner".
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → far
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.
Complete sentence: Ghanshyam can run far better than I do. He is a professional runner. Ghanshyam is a professional runner, so he runs far better (much better) than the speaker.
| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) more | "Better" is already the comparative of "well". "More better" is a double comparative. | – |
| (2) far (answer) | A comparative such as better, taller, faster can be made stronger by far, much, a lot or even. Very and more cannot be put before a comparative. | This book is far more interesting than the film. |
| (3) very | Very goes with the positive degree (very well, very good), not with a comparative. | – |
| (4) most | Most forms the superlative. "Most better" mixes two degrees of comparison. | – |
