Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
She dances ____ than I do.

• A. badly
• B. too badly
• C. worst
• D. worse

Answer 1

The correct option is D worse

In the given sentence, 'than' indicates that the subject and the object is being compared to each other. The comparison is made between a mutual quality of both. Thus, the answer must be an adjective of comparative degree.

Option A is incorrect. 'badly' is an adverb and not an adjective. Thus, it cannot be the answer.

Option B is incorrect. 'too badly' is an adverb and not an adjective. Thus, it cannot be the answer.

Option C is incorrect. 'worst' is an adjective of the superlative degree and not the comparative degree. Thus, it cannot be used for comparison.

Option D is correct. 'worse' is an adjective of the comparative degree and thus, it can be used for comparison. Thus, it is correct.
