To determine whether there is a mistake with the comparative adverb in each sentence, we need to understand the rules for forming comparative adverbs.
1. The sentence "Thomas jumped highly than he ever had before" should be corrected. The comparative adverb "highly" should be changed to "higher" to show a comparison between two levels of jumping.
Therefore, the correct answer is (a) Change "highly" to "higher".
2. The sentence "Andre felt gooder after he made his presentation" also needs correction. The word "gooder" is not a correct comparative adverb since "good" is already in the comparative form "better". "Gooder" is not a standard comparative form.
Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Change "gooder" to "better".
In summary, the correct answers are:
1. Change "highly" to "higher" (option a)
2. Change "gooder" to "better" (option c).
