Correct.
The phrase "more happily" is an example of a comparative adverb.
To determine this, let's break it down further:
1. Adjective or Adverb: In this case, we are describing the verb "danced," so we need an adverb to modify it.
2. Comparative form: Comparatives are used to compare two things. Here, we are comparing the level of happiness that Alyssa danced with to some previous level we have seen him dance with before.
3. Form: The comparative form is typically created by adding "-er" to short adjectives or by using "more" with longer adjectives. However, with adverbs, the comparative form is usually created by adding "more." In this case, we have the adverb "happily," so we make the comparative form by adding "more" before it.
Therefore, the correct answer is "comparative adverb."
