Question

    Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bold

    segment in the given sentence. She is more kinder than her sister.
    A most kind Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B much kinder Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C more kindest Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D more kind Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The adjective kinder is already in the comparative form of kind, so using more with it (as in "more kinder") is grammatically incorrect. The correct construction is much kinder, where much is used to intensify the comparison.
    Most kind is superlative, not comparative.
    More kindest is incorrect because it combines two degrees of comparison.
    More kind is incorrect because "kinder" is the proper comparative form of "kind".
