Question

Select the correct option:
Her interpretation was __ than insightful; it bordered on the revelatory.

A.

less

B.

more

C.

other

D.

rather

Correct option is B

The correct option to fill in the blank is (b) more.
The structure “more than + adjective” is used to show that something exceeds the normal degree of that quality. Here, “bordered on the revelatory” means it was almost astonishingly insightful, so “more than insightful” is the best fit. (Hindi meaning of the word “more”: और अधिक)
Example: His explanation was more than helpful—it solved the entire problem.
Explain why other options are incorrect:
· (a) less: would mean it was not very insightful, but the next clause praises it (“revelatory”), so it contradicts the context.
· (c) other: does not fit the comparative structure “__ than.”
· (d) rather: “rather than” expresses preference/contrast (X rather than Y), which changes the meaning completely.
