very more

the more

the most

- He is taller and most handsome than his friend.

- The use of "most" in this comparative sentence is incorrect because "most" is used for superlatives, not comparisons between two things.

- Option 1: very more

- "Very more" is not a grammatically valid construction. "Very" and "more" cannot be used together in this context.

- Option 2: more

- This is correct. "More" is used for comparisons, making it right for comparing his handsomeness with his friend.

- Option 3: the more

- This is typically used when the comparison is part of a longer phrase or is indicating consequence, not an immediate comparison.

- Option 4: the most

- "The most" is used for superlative forms, not for comparison between two people or things.

- Correct Answer: Option 2, more
