Question

It is ___________ to read this year's textbook ________ the last year's.

A. easier, than
B. most easy, than
C. easier, from
D. most easiest, than

Accepted Answer

A. easier, than The sentence compares two things (this year's textbook vs. last year's textbook), so a comparative adjective is needed, not a superlative. The correct comparative of 'easy' is 'easier', and the standard preposition used with comparatives is 'than'. 'From' is incorrect with comparatives, and 'most easiest' is a double superlative error.

It is ___________ to read this year's textbook ________ the last year's. A. easier, than B. most easy, than C. easier, from D. most easiest, than
