Question

Complete the given sentence by picking the best option to fill in the blank.

The more stops in a flight, _____ more dangerous it will be. [Intermediate]

• A. An
• B. It
• C. A
• D. The

Answer 1

The correct option is D The

When a sentence talks about specific nouns or situations inspite of the sentence being a general one, we use 'the'. Since the sentence already has a 'the' it is a clue to fill in the blank and so the correct answer is option D) the. Also, it is important to note the use of 'the' to show the degree or extent of a particular adjective like 'more stops' and 'more dangerous' as is used in the current context.
