Nureyev danced __________ than the others in the ballet troupe.

Question

A hypothetical ballet troupe, made of a diverse group of individuals showcasing different genders and descents including Hispanic, Middle-Eastern, Black, South Asian, and Caucasian, performing enthusiastic ballet dance on stage. An artist, possibly Nureyev, outshining others in gracefulness. The setting is behind the scenes, with stage light focusing on the central figure. The clothes are traditional ballet costumes and the stage has a classical design. The dancers' movements are captured in swift and fluid strokes to highlight their elegance.

Nureyev danced __________ than the others in the ballet troupe.

A. more gracefully
B. more gracefuller
C. gracefuller
D. more graceful

A

Answer 1

Yes. more gracefully

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. more gracefully.

Answer 3

The correct answer is A. more gracefully. To determine the correct answer, we need to compare Nureyev's dancing to that of the others in the ballet troupe, using the comparative form of the adjective "graceful." In this case, "graceful" needs to be modified using the comparative form, which is "more graceful." Therefore, the correct phrase is "more gracefully."

Option B, "more gracefuller," is incorrect because "gracefuller" is not a word. The correct comparative form of "graceful" is "more graceful," not "more gracefuller."

Option C, "gracefuller," is also incorrect for the same reason as option B. "Gracefuller" is not a valid comparative form of "graceful."

Option D, "more graceful," is similar to option A, but it lacks the adverb form "-ly" that is needed to modify the verb "danced." Therefore, option D is incorrect.
