Question

【题目】He thought the Englishman was ________that American.

A. so clever as B. less clever than C. as cleverer as D. more cleverer than

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】句意：他认为这个英国人不如美国人聪明。so clever as表示同级比较，应用在否定句中；less clever than比…不聪明；as cleverer as形式错误，as…as表示同级比较，中间用形容词的原级；more cleverer than形式错误，cleverer前面不能再用more。故应选B。
