Complete the following sentence using the correct combination of words from the options provided:

Manish is the __________ boy in the class. However, going by the chatter in the school, he is _____________ than benevolent.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Comparing one boy with the whole class requires the superlative 'cleverest'. When two qualities of the same person are compared, the form 'more + adjective' is used, so 'more clever than benevolent' is correct. Hence 'cleverest / more clever'.
