Getting to the top is ________________ than staying on top.

  • A.more easy
  • B.much easy
  • C.easiest
  • D.easier

Answer: D

The correct word is easier.

The sentence compares two things, getting to the top and staying on top, and the word 'than' calls for a comparative adjective. 'Easy' forms its comparative with -er: easy, easier, easiest.

'More easy' doubles up on the comparison for a short adjective that already takes -er. 'Much easy' is ungrammatical, since 'much' can only intensify a comparative ('much easier'). 'Easiest' is the superlative, used when comparing three or more things, and cannot be followed by 'than'.
