Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → C
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 (better, taller, prettier) is made stronger with much, far, a lot or a little, not with "very".
- This sentence: "better" is already the comparative of "well", so much better.
Complete sentence: He is much better today.
A. more — Incorrect.
- "More better" is a double comparative.
- "Better" already means more good.
B. fast — Incorrect.
- "Fast" tells the speed of an action and cannot modify "better".
C. much — Correct.
- "Much" strengthens the comparative "better".
D. quickly — Incorrect.
- "Quickly" is an adverb of manner and does not modify a comparative adjective.
