Answer 1

D

一般来说，形容词比较级做表语时前面不加任何冠词，但在下列情况下应加冠词：

形容词比较级修饰可数名词做定语时，通常前面加不定冠词。如：This coat is a bit　　 longer. Could you show me a shorter one?

当形容词比较级表示两者之间较为突出者时，前面常加定冠词．如：This is the better of the two books. Canada is the larger of the two countries.

the more... ,the more... 句式，表示“愈……就愈……”．如：The more carefully you study, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
