Question

Instructions [109-110]: The following questions have sentences which are incomplete. Pick up one phrase / clause from the options given, that will complete the sentence logically.

The more we looked at the piece of modern art _______

• A. we liked it less
• B. better we liked it
• C. the less we liked it
• D. we liked it more and more

Hint:

This is a "the more..., the better..." comparative pattern; match the structure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Read the sentence as a template: "The more [clause 1], the [comparative] [clause 2]." Both halves must use the same "the + comparative" shape to sound right.

1. We liked it less: missing the required "the" before the comparative, so it breaks the matching template.
2. Better we liked it: slots in as "the better we liked it", matching the template exactly and giving a sentence that makes logical sense, looking more led to liking it more.
3. The less we liked it: fits the template shape but flips the logic to looking more causing less liking, which is not the intended reading here.
4. We liked it more and more: does not use a comparative form at all, so it cannot slot into the second half of the template.

Since option B fills the comparative slot correctly and keeps the sentence logical, "the more we looked..., the better we liked it", option B is the right choice.
