Explanation:

- The sentence with the blank is: "He (2)______ on the cover of Time magazine as the (3)______ person at the time."

- The options given are:

1. richer

2. rich

3. most rich

4. richest

- Let's evaluate each option:

- "Richer" is a comparative adjective, used to compare two entities.

- "Rich" is a simple adjective, describing someone with wealth but not comparing.

- "Most rich" is not grammatically correct. The correct form is "richest" for superlatives.

- "Richest" is the superlative form, used to describe the person with the most wealth, relative to others.

- Therefore, option 4, "richest," is the most grammatically correct choice. It denotes that Mir Osman Ali Khan was the wealthiest compared to everyone else, fitting the context perfectly.
