• A. as the box was
• B. strained his back
• C. too heavier.
• D. Jack probably

Answer 1

Answer:

C. too heavier.

• The word "too" is an adverb of degree and should be followed by the positive degree of the adjective. • It should be "too heavy." The comparative form "heavier" is only used when comparing the box to something else.
