Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

more

Solution :

The correct option is more.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Let us analyze the context of the sentence: "Are there enough seats here? There are __________ people here than I expected."

2. The first sentence asks if there are enough seats, which implies a potential shortage of seats relative to the number of people.

3. The second sentence uses the word "than" after the blank space. The word "than" is a conjunction used to introduce the second element in a comparison. Therefore, the blank must be filled with a comparative adjective or adverb.

4. Let us evaluate the options:
- "many" is a positive adjective, not a comparative form, and cannot be followed by "than".
- "most" is a superlative adjective/adverb, which is used for comparing three or more things and does not pair with "than" in this manner.
- "least" is a superlative adjective/adverb, which also does not pair with "than" here.
- "more" is the comparative form of "many" or "much". It is correctly paired with "than" to compare the actual number of people to the expected number of people (e.g., "more people than expected").

5. Thus, "more" is the grammatically correct and contextually appropriate choice, completing the sentence as: "There are more people here than I expected."
