Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

I make __ mistakes now than last year.

• A. few
• B. fewer
• C. the fewest
• D. fewest

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

fewer

Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects or instances they modify. In this case, the comparison is done between "mistakes now than last year". Here the adjectives can either be few or more. The comparative form is fewer. "fewest" is the superlative degree.

Option B is correct.
