Choose the sentence that is grammatically correct.
AHe is more brave than strong.
BHe is braver than stronger.
CHe is more braver than stronger.
DHe is bravest rather than strong.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. He is more brave than strong.
Principle: when two qualities of the same person or thing are compared, English prefers $more/less + adjective$ rather than the $-er$ comparative on both adjectives.
Here, the sentence compares two qualities in the same person: bravery and strength.
So the correct pattern is "more brave than strong." Option B is tempting because learners often try to make both adjectives comparative, but "braver than stronger" is not the accepted structure for comparing two qualities of one person.
Option C is incorrect because it combines two comparative systems at once ("more braver").
**Option D does not express the required comparison at all and uses an ill-formed structure.**
Therefore, option A is correct.
