Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The more/the more

Choice B is correct as it is the correct comparitive phrase for the sentence. Choice A is wrong as it has no article at the beginning or in the middle to show the comparison. Choice C is wrong as there cannot be one comparitive and one superlative degrees of comparison. Choice D is wrong as the superlative form is wrong.
