Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A countryside is______than a city.

• A. Cheap
• B. Cheaper
• C. Cheapest
• D. More cheaper

Answer 1

The correct option is B Cheaper

In this sentence we would be understanding the comparative degree of adjectives. Usually comparative degree is used when there are two things for comparison, which in this sentence is countryside and city. Thus, we can say that we would be using the comparative degree of "cheap". This would be "cheaper".

"More cheaper" is wrong as there are presence of consecutively two forms of comparative degree. It is either "more cheap" or "cheaper". Since "cheap" is a word with single syllable, the comparative degree would become "cheaper".
