most prettier than all of

No improvement

prettier than any of

pretty than either of

- Original sentence: Shailaja is *prettier than either of* her three cousins.

- Option 1: “most prettier than all of” is grammatically incorrect because "most prettier" is not a correct superlative form.

- Option 2: “No improvement” would imply the original is correct, but "either of" suggests a choice between two, not three.

- Option 3: "prettier than any of" - This correctly compares Shailaja with more than two people and works with three cousins.

- Option 4: “pretty than either of” is incorrect since "pretty" is not the comparative form.
