Which form of the modifier best completes the sentence? Which of your three siblings laughs __________? A. louder <-? b. more loudly c. most loudly d. more louder<-?

OpenStudy (girlgoyleh.):

C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@GirlgoyleH. Which of your three siblings laughs MOST loudly???

OpenStudy (girlgoyleh.):

Yeah, which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (girlgoyleh.):

I think its c because it says "which of"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A, you would say 'more louder' because the 'er' at the end of 'louder' already infers that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B and C are also improper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since the sentence uses 'which off' you wouldn't use 'loudly' If the sentence was 'your siblings laugh _____' then you would use plain 'loudly'

OpenStudy (girlgoyleh.):

It wouldnt be more louder or louder because its comparing all three, it says "which OF your three siblings

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this case, it's just like using the word 'funnier' or 'more fun'. 'Funnier' is improper and is not a word, you would use 'more fun'. It's all about word form and such

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it would be 'louder' think about it 'which of your siblings laugh louder' Tho, I can understand, you would expect the word 'than' afterwards.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

laughs***

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think your getting 'most loudly' from the word 'loudest' because 'loudest' is what should be used

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since you can't use 'loudest' 'louder' would be the next best option
