This novel is more interesting of all in the library.

A.

the most interesting

B.

most interesting

C.

the more interesting

D.

interesting

Correct option is A

The correct substitution of the highlighted segment is "the most interesting."
Explanation:
· The phrase "of all" indicates a comparison among many, which requires a superlative form.
· The correct superlative form of "interesting" is "the most interesting."
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Comparative degree: Used for two things (e.g., "This novel is more interesting than that one.")
· Superlative degree: Used for more than two things (e.g., "This novel is the most interesting of all.")
Examples:
· ✅ Correct: "This is the most interesting book in the library."
· ❌ Incorrect: "This is more interesting of all in the library."
Meanings of the other options and why they are incorrect:
· Most interesting – Incorrect because "the" is required before superlatives.
· The more interesting – Incorrect because comparative degree is not needed here.
· Interesting – Incorrect because a degree of comparison is necessary.
