Question

Choose the correct degree of comparison to complete the sentence, other gadget is ______ common than the mobile phone.

• A. more
• B. most
• C. as
• D. very

Answer 1

Answer:

A. more

• More is the comparative degree of much/many and is used when comparing two things or one thing with all others in a group.

• The structure “No other + noun + is + comparative adjective + than” is a common comparative construction.

• Here, “more common than” means that no other gadget has a greater degree of commonness than the mobile phone.

Why the others are incorrect:

• most ❌ → Superlative degree normally takes “the”: the most common.

• as ❌ → Requires the structure “as common as”, not as common than.

• very ❌ → Very common than is grammatically incorrect.
