Question

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
He speaks English ___________ than I do.

A.

best

B.

better

C.

more good

D.

good

Correct option is B

The correct option to fill in the blank is (b) better.
Explanation: The comparative marker “than” requires the comparative degree of the adjective/adverb: good → better → best. Since we are comparing how he speaks English versus me, “better” (Hindi: बेहतर) is the correct comparative form.
Example: She writes faster than I do; he sings better than I do.
Explain why other options are incorrect:
· (a) best — superlative degree used with a group (e.g., of all), not a two-item comparison. (Hindi: सबसे अच्छा).
· (c) more good — incorrect formation; “good” forms comparison irregularly ( good–better–best), not with “more.”
· (d) good — base form; lacks comparative meaning.
