    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
    In order to win the competition, one has to be creative.

    A.

    most creative

    B.

    more creative

    C.

    creativest

    D.

    creativer

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) more creative.
    Explanation:
    The sentence implies a comparison — to win, one must be more creative than others. The word “creative” is a polysyllabic adjective, so its comparative form is made using “more”.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    For adjectives with two or more syllables (except those ending in -y), use more/most for comparison.
    Example: She is more intelligent than her peers.
    Information Booster:
    Incorrect forms like "creativer" or "creativest" are grammatically wrong.
