Question

Chose the correct option to complete the sentence.

Apples may not be as ___ as mangoes but they are certainly ___ nutritious.

• A. sweeter, more
• B. sweet, much
• C. sweet, more
• D. sweeter, much

Answer 1

The correct option is C sweet, more

The use of 'as...'as' structure in the first part of the sentence requires the use of the positive degree of the adjective 'sweet', and the second part compares the nutritional value of the two fruits so we use a comparative degree of the adjective: 'more nutritious.'
