    Solution

    When we compare qualities in the same person or thing, we do not use the -er form of comparative degree but use the form of 'more'. X. The fruit seller gave me some fruits yesterday, saying that they were tasty, but I found them more healthy than tasty. 1. Team officials are remaining quiet about the possibility of trading the most prominent player the franchise has had since moving west. Here, the extreme thing is compared. So, ‘most prominent’ is to be used. 2. Horror genre generally interests me, but the movie I watched yesterday was more scary than interesting.
