Explanation:

- Admiral Byron was tasked with setting up an island off the coast where ships could resupply. This was part of a strategy to control the South Atlantic and find a route to the East Indies.

- After navigating past the tip of South America, he encountered the vast Pacific Ocean.

- In this context, the phrase suggests a comparison among ocean bodies, so a superlative form is needed.

- Option 1: "larger" is a comparative adjective, used for comparing two things.

- Option 2: "large" is a simple adjective, not suitable for comparison in this context.

- Option 3: "more larger" is incorrect and not grammatically valid as "larger" should not be preceded by "more."

- Option 4: "largest" is a superlative adjective, suitable for describing the "largest" body of water.
