Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

Monte Carlo is one of _______ beautiful cities in the world.

• A. much
• B. the most
• C. much more
• D. the least
• E. less

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

the most

The form of an adjective indicating the greatest degree of the quality that the adjective describes. It is used only when more than three individuals, things or situations or places are compared. Monte Carlo has been compared to the other cities of the world.

much < more < most

Where much is positive, more is comparative and most is superlative

Now, difficult is a three syllable word, the superlative form of beautiful is "Most beautiful"

Now, when we use superlative degree usually "the" is used in front

Option B is correct.
