Answer 1

The correct completion for the sentence "My hair is _____________________ yours" is "darker than".

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct completion for the sentence "My hair is _____________________ yours" is "darker than".

The word "darker" is the comparative form of the adjective "dark". When comparing two things, we use the comparative form and typically use "than" to introduce the second thing being compared. In this case, the sentence is comparing the darkness of the student's hair to the darkness of the person they are addressing. So, the correct completion is "My hair is darker than yours".

Answer 2

Darker than

Step-by-step explanation:

My hair is dark yours. (Incorrect. Grammar does not make sense. You don't use this when comparing one thing to another)

My hair is darker yours. (Incorrect. Grammar is incorrect)

My hair is dark than yours (Incorrect. You still don't use Dark when comparing)

My hair is Darker than yours (Correct! The grammar is correct and the correct comparative form)

When comparing one thing to another you add -er.

When you are comparing 3 or more things you add -est.
