Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
Syamala is more taller than her sister.

A.

tall

B.

taller

C.

most taller

D.

tallest

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) taller.
Explanation: The phrase “more taller” is grammatically incorrect because “taller” is already a comparative adjective, and we should not use “more” before it.
Grammatical rule used: Comparative adjectives of one syllable form by adding “-er” (e.g., taller, smarter), not by adding "more".
Example: He is taller than his brother. (✅)
�� Information Booster: Use "more" only with adjectives of two or more syllables that do not end with “-er”, like “more beautiful”, “more expensive”.
