Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
It was becoming ______ day by day in Delhi, so grandparents decided to go to Pune.

Correct option is C

The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) colder.
Explanation: The sentence shows a comparison over time (“day by day”), which requires the comparative degree of the adjective “cold.” Hence, “colder” is correct. (Hindi meaning – ठंडा, अधिक ठंडा).
Example: It’s getting colder each evening as winter approaches.
Why other options are incorrect:
· (a) Cold – Positive degree; does not show comparison (साधारण ठंडा).
· (b) The coldest – Superlative degree; used for comparison among three or more (सबसे ठंडा).
· (d) Very colder – Incorrect because ‘very’ is not used with comparative adjectives.
Information booster: Use “more” or “-er” for comparison between two things or gradual change, never with “very.”
