The word "brightly" is an adverb modifying the verb "shines." The correct comparative form is "more brightly."
Therefore, we'd make no change in this sentence.
Thank you Ms.Sue you save my life because I really need this to be a good grade!

You're welcome.
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the comparative form of the adverb "brightly" that should be used in the sentence.
Comparative adverbs are used to compare two actions or states, indicating that one action or state is performed or experienced to a greater degree than another. The comparative form of most adverbs is created by adding the suffix "-er" to the base form of the adverb. However, some adverbs are irregular and do not follow this rule.
In the given sentence, we have the comparative form "more brightly." To evaluate the options:
a. Change "more" to "most": This would result in "most brightly," which is not correct as "most" is used for the superlative form, i.e., comparing more than two objects or actions.
b. Change "brightly" to "brighter": This is the correct option as it follows the rule for comparative adverbs, resulting in "brighter."
c. Change "more brightly" to "brightlier": "Brightlier" is not a valid word and does not follow the rules for forming comparatives.
d. Make no change: This option would keep the incorrect form "more brightly."
Therefore, the correct answer is b. Change "brightly" to "brighter."
