@Vocaloid can you help?(:

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

I'm not sure how to "explain" it without giving it away, but A is the best answer "more smarter" is incorrect - it should be "smarter" because the -er on "smarter" is already a comparison http://www.grammarly.com/handbook/sentences/comparison/4/double-comparatives/

OpenStudy (liv1234):

So, A is the correct answer?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yes
