Answer 1

Answer:

C. better

The comparative degree is used to compare the qualities of two people or things.

• Rules & Usage:

  • When comparing two entities, use the comparative form of the adjective (better) followed by "than".

  • Degrees of comparison for "good":

    • Positive: Good

    • Comparative: Better

    • Superlative: Best

  • Since the sentence uses "than" to compare the speaker's past swimming ability with others, the comparative form "better" is required.
