Soru:
Choose the correct option to complete the sentence:
"I think mathematics is __________ than history."
- a) difficulter
- b) more difficult
- c) more difficulter
Çözüm:
🧠 Let's analyze the options.
- ➡️ Step 1: Identify the adjective. The base adjective is "difficult".
- ➡️ Step 2: Check the syllable count. "Difficult" has three syllables (\( \text{dif-fi-cult} \)).
- ➡️ Step 3: Apply the comparative rule. For adjectives with three or more syllables, we use "more" before the adjective.
- ➡️ Step 4: Evaluate the options.
- a) "difficulter" ❌ (Incorrect, we don't add -er to long adjectives)
- b) "more difficult" ✅ (Correct, follows the rule for long adjectives)
- c) "more difficulter" ❌ (Incorrect, double comparative is wrong)
✅ The correct answer is b) more difficult.
