Compartilhar

In the sentence below, identify which option BEST explains the grammatical reason why the comparative structure is considered incorrect and should be rewritten:


‘This book is more preferable than the other.’


A

Because adjectives ending in –able must always take the form more + adjective.


B

Because double comparatives are only incorrect with short adjectives.


C

Because preferable already contains an inherent comparative meaning, making more redundant.


D

Because the verb prefer requires a gerund complement in comparative clauses.


E

Because preferable is an irregular comparative adjective that requires the suffix –er.
