Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'B'. Let's understand why.
Comparing two qualities:
When we compare two qualities, we use the comparative degree. The comparative degree is formed by adding '-er' to the adjective for short adjectives and by using 'more' before the adjective for long adjectives.
For example:
- Short adjective: Expensive → Comparative degree: More expensive
- Long adjective: Comfortable → Comparative degree: More comfortable
Comparing three or more qualities:
When we compare three or more qualities, we use the superlative degree. The superlative degree is formed by adding '-est' to the adjective for short adjectives and by using 'the most' before the adjective for long adjectives.
For example:
- Short adjective: Expensive → Superlative degree: The most expensive
- Long adjective: Comfortable → Superlative degree: The most comfortable
Now, let's look at the given sentence:
"A room is, the more expensive it is likely to be."
Here, we are comparing two qualities: the price and the comfort level of a room. The given sentence is using the comparative degree correctly by using 'more' before 'expensive' and 'more' before 'comfortable'. Therefore, option 'B' is the correct answer.
Option analysis:
- Option 'A': This option is incorrect because it uses the superlative degree for 'comfortable' which is not appropriate for comparing two qualities.
- Option 'B': This option is correct because it uses the comparative degree for both 'expensive' and 'comfortable'.
- Option 'C': This option is incorrect because it uses the superlative degree for 'expensive' which is not appropriate for comparing two qualities.
- Option 'D': This option is incorrect because it uses the superlative degree for 'comfortable' which is not appropriate for comparing two qualities.
- Option 'E': This option is incorrect because it uses 'more' only for 'expensive' and not for 'comfortable', which is not appropriate for comparing two qualities.
