Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Life in a country is_____in a city.

• A. Slow
• B. Slower than
• C. Slower
• D. Slowly

Answer 1

The correct option is B Slower than

This is a sentence, were we would be using comparative degree. A comparative degree is used when two things are used for comparison. In this case, the two things are city and country. Thus, this proves that we are supposed to use comparative degree. The adjective here is 'slow". Since "slow" is a single syllable word, there is just an addition of "-er". But, in the whole sentence the phrase "than" is missing which is used for comparing. The final answer would be "slower than".

Option B is correct.
