Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

My brother plays the guitar _________ than I do.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (D) better

Than I do पूरा उपवाक्य है, जिसमें I कर्ता है। than से पहले तुलनात्मक रूप चाहिए, और क्रिया-विशेषण well का तुलनात्मक रूप better है।
✓
My brother plays the guitar better than I do.
सरल अर्थ: मेरा भाई मुझसे बेहतर गिटार बजाता है।
Than I do is the full clause, with I as the subject. The word before than must be a comparative, and the adverb well has the comparative better.
✓
My brother plays the guitar better than I do.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'best' अच्छा बजाने के लिए सबसे सशक्त शब्द प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'than' के साथ comparative (तुलनात्मक) चाहिए, और 'best' superlative (उत्तमावस्था) है; 'well' का comparative 'better' है।'best' seemed the strongest word for playing well. But 'than' needs a comparative, and 'best' is a superlative; the comparative of 'well' is 'better'.
B'good' ठीक प्रतीत हुआ क्योंकि कौशल के लिए यही प्रचलित शब्द है। परंतु 'plays' के साथ adverb (क्रियाविशेषण) चाहिए, और 'than' से पहले comparative (तुलनात्मक): 'better'।'good' seemed right because it is the common word for skill. But 'plays' needs an adverb, and before 'than' we need a comparative: 'better'.
C'well' 'plays' के लिए शुद्ध adverb (क्रियाविशेषण) है, इसलिए ठीक प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'than' के साथ comparative रूप चाहिए, जो 'better' है, सादा 'well' नहीं।'well' is the correct adverb for 'plays', so it looked right. But 'than' needs the comparative form, which is 'better', not the plain 'well'.
