Question

Fill in the blank with the correct option : 
Of the two Novels, this is _____.

Accepted Answer

Of the two Novels, this is **more interesting**.

**Explanation:**

*   **Why Option 2 (more interesting) is correct:** When comparing two things (in this case, two novels), we use the comparative form of the adjective. "More interesting" is the correct comparative form of the adjective "interesting." It indicates a higher degree of interest relative to the other novel. The phrase "of the two novels" explicitly sets up a comparison between two items, making the comparative form necessary.

*   **Why Option 1 (interesting) is incorrect:** "Interesting" is the positive form of the adjective. It simply describes a quality without making a comparison. While a novel can be interesting, the sentence structure "Of the two novels, this is..." demands a comparison, making the positive form inappropriate.

*   **Why Option 3 (interested) is incorrect:** "Interested" is a verb form or an adjective describing a feeling of being interested. It doesn't fit grammatically in the sentence. The sentence requires an adjective that describes the quality of the novel itself, not the feeling someone has towards it.

*   **Why Option 4 (much interesting) is incorrect:** "Much" can be used to intensify adjectives, but it's typically used with past participles functioning as adjectives (e.g., "much appreciated," "much improved"). It's not grammatically correct to use "much" directly before the adjective "interesting" in this context. The correct way to intensify the comparative form would be something like "much *more* interesting," but that's not one of the options.
