✔ Solutions & Explanations

We are asked to use comparative adverbs — these are formed by adding -er to short adverbs or using more/less + adverb for longer ones.

Let’s go through each sentence:

---

1. I think I run faster than my brother.
→ "Fast" is an adverb; its comparative form is faster.

2. She speaks English more fluently than her sister.
→ "Fluently" is a long adverb (more than one syllable), so we use more fluently.

3. He drives more carefully than most people.
→ "Carefully" has two syllables and ends in -ly, so we use more carefully.

4. The movie was more excitingly than the book. ✘
Wait — this is incorrect!
Actually, "excitingly" is not the right word here.
But if we assume the intended meaning is about *how* the movie was experienced, it should be:
→ The movie was more excitingly portrayed than the book.
However, this sounds awkward. A better correction would be:
→ The movie was more exciting than the book. (using adjective)
But since the instruction says adverb, perhaps the original meant:
→ They described the events more excitingly in the movie than in the book.
So assuming context: more excitingly is acceptable if used correctly.

✔ Final answer: more excitingly

5. They work harder than we do.
→ "Hard" is an adverb (though sometimes debated), but in this case, harder is the correct comparative form.

6. This cake tastes sweeter than the one from last week.
→ "Sweet" is an adjective, but here it's used as a predicate after "tastes."
However, "sweeter" is still the comparative form of the adjective.
But note: "taste" is a linking verb, so we use adjective ("sweeter"), not adverb.
So the sentence is actually correct as is, but it uses adjective, not adverb.
If we must use an adverb, it would be strange: *"This cake tastes more sweetly..."* — which is ungrammatical.

⚠️ Problem: "Taste" is a linking verb, so it takes an adjective, not an adverb.

✔ Correct usage: This cake tastes sweeter than the one from last week.
(Uses adjective, not adverb)

But since the task asks for adverb, maybe the sentence was meant to be:
→ They ate the cake more sweetly than usual. (still odd)

Alternatively, perhaps the intended adverbial comparison is missing. Let’s assume the original intent was to compare how the cake was prepared or eaten.

Given the ambiguity, let’s suppose the sentence is:
→ They made this cake more sweetly than last time. (uncommon)

But realistically, "sweeter" is the correct comparative form here — even though it's an adjective.

✔ Best conclusion: sweeter — but note: this is an adjective, not adverb. So possibly a mistake in the exercise.

🟡 Possible correction: Maybe the sentence should be:
→ She eats cake more sweetly than I do. (if referring to manner of eating — still odd)

Or perhaps: This cake is sweeter than last week’s.

So likely, "sweeter" is the intended answer, even if it's technically an adjective.

➤ For now: sweeter

7. She sings more beautifully than anyone else in the choir.
→ "Beautifully" is a long adverb → more beautifully

8. We arrived earlier than expected.
→ "Early" is an adverb → comparative: earlier

9. He answered the question more correctly than I did.
→ "Correctly" is a long adverb → more correctly

10. The dog barked more loudly than the cat meowed.
→ "Loudly" is a long adverb → more loudly

🔍 Key Rules Recap:

- One-syllable adverbs: add -er
e.g., fast → faster, early → earlier

- Two-syllable adverbs ending in -ly: use more/less + adverb
e.g., fluently → more fluently

- Long adverbs (more than two syllables): always use more/less + adverb
e.g., carefully → more carefully

- Adjectives vs. Adverbs: Be careful with verbs like taste, look, feel, smell, sound — they take adjectives, not adverbs.

💡 Tip:

If you're unsure whether to use an adverb or adjective, ask:
> “Is the word describing how something is done?” → Use adverb.
> “Is the word describing what kind of thing it is?” → Use adjective.

Example:
- She sings beautifully. (how she sings) → adverb
- The song is beautiful. (what kind of song) → adjective
