Read the sentence.
We would like to work in the soup kitchen more frequently next year.
Which best identifies the degree of comparison of the underlined adjective or adverb?
A. positive
B. comparative
C. superlative
D. imperative
Answer:
The degree of comparison of "more frequently" is:
B. comparative.
Step-by-step explanation:
In English, adjectives and adverbs can be modified with the comparative or the superlative degree of comparison.
The comparative degree can be further divided into two: superiority and inferiority. The latter uses "less" to make the comparison. For example: She is less tall than I am. The former can either use "more" or add -er to the ending of the adjective or adverb being compared. For example: Anna is more talkative than her sister. / Jessica is friendlier than her brother.
In "more frequently", we have an example of comparative degree - more specifically of superiority.
