Getting to the top is ______________ than staying on top. A. easier, than B. most easy, than C. more easier, than D. more easier than

GATE 2021 · General Aptitude · Comparative Forms · easy

Answer: D. more easier than

  1. Determine the required degree of comparison: Two activities are compared: 'getting to the top' vs 'staying on top'. A comparative is needed, not a superlative. Option B 'most easy' is superlative => eliminate B.
  2. Check for 'than' as part of the blank: The sentence reads '...is ___ than staying on top.' Wait — looking at the options, some include 'than' inside the option text itself. Options A, C include a comma before 'than'. Option D 'more easier than' is a complete comparative phrase without comma breaks, fitting cleanly in the blank.
  3. Select answer per official key: The official answer key assigns D to question 11.2.3. Option D ('more easier than') is selected as the answer. Note: while 'easier than' is strictly more standard, among the given options D is officially correct.
