Fill in the blank in the given sentence with the correct word from th…

The correct answer is Option (2) → farther

Comparative degree of "far":

• When two things are compared, the adjective takes the comparative degree, followed by than.
• "Far" has an irregular comparison:
  • far – farther – farthest: used for physical distance;
  • far – further – furthest: used for distance and also for "more, additional" (further details).
• This sentence: "than your hometown" compares two distances, so the comparative farther is needed.
  Example: Chennai is farther from Delhi than Jaipur is.

Complete sentence: Agra is farther from here than your hometown.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: far — Incorrect. Far is the positive degree; it cannot be followed by "than".
Example: My school is not far from here.

Option 3: more further — Incorrect. Further is already a comparative, so "more further" is a double comparative.
Example: We walked further along the beach.

Option 4: very far — Incorrect. Very only strengthens the positive degree; it makes no comparison and cannot be followed by "than".
Example: He lives very far from the city.
