Choose the word that completes the sentence: The second set of results was even ___ than the first.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. worse
- Step 1: The sentence compares two sets with than, so it needs the comparative form. Step 2. The comparative of bad is irregular: bad, worse, worst. Answer: worse. Why not the others: Worst is the superlative, used for three or more, more bad is not used because bad has an irregular comparative, and badder is not a standard English word.
