Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

4) more enjoyable

Step-by-step explanation:

We're comparing comparatives and superlatives. Comparatives are only used when comparing two items, while superlatives are used when comparing more than two items.

Here, we're comparing the two genres of biography and historical fiction, so we need to use comparatives. Eliminate the answer choice that have superlative words in them: 2 and 3 are wrong.

Compare 1 and 4: 1 is wrong because we're only comparing between the two genres given, not to all the other genres.

4 is correct.
