Correct option is C
The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (c)
hotter now.
Explanation: The adjective “hot” is a
monosyllabic adjective, and such adjectives form their
comparative degree by adding “-er” (not “more”). Therefore, “more hot” is grammatically incorrect. The correct comparative form is “hotter.”
(Hindi meaning: अब ज्यादा गर्म है)
Grammatical rule used:
· For short adjectives (typically one syllable), add “-er” to form the comparative.
·
Example:
· Wrong – more big
· Right – bigger
Information booster:
Avoid
double comparatives (e.g., "more hotter") or incorrect forms ("more hot"). Use either "hotter" or "more + adjective" (only for longer adjectives like “beautiful → more beautiful”).
