In engineering specifications, which sentence correctly uses a comparative structure?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. The carbon fiber composite is considerably lighter than standard structural steel
- Step 1: One-syllable adjectives form comparatives by adding '-er' followed by 'than': 'lighter than'. Answer: The carbon fiber composite is considerably lighter than standard structural steel. Why not the others: 'more light' is incorrect for single-syllable adjectives, 'then' confuses time with comparison, and 'lightest' is a superlative form.
