Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

Although the research team travelled ________ into the submerged ruins of Alexandria than any previous expedition, they still failed to solve the enduring mystery of Cleopatra's tomb.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

The sentence compares the team's travel with previous expeditions using 'than', so the comparative degree 'deeper' is needed. 'Deepest' is superlative, 'deep' is the positive degree, and 'furthermost' is not used with 'than' in this construction.
