Abigger

Bmore big

Cbiggest

Dmore bigger

Answer:

A. bigger

Read Explanation:

• Why "bigger" is the correct answer: Comparative Degree: The sentence is comparing two specific things: "The new almirah" and "this one." When comparing two items, we must use the Comparative Degree. The "than" Clue: The word "than" is a key indicator that a comparison is being made, requiring a comparative adjective. One-Syllable Rule: For short adjectives with one syllable (like big), we usually form the comparative by adding the suffix "-er". Positive: Big Comparative: Bigger (Note the doubling of the 'g') Superlative: Biggest
