Questions :
Select the correct word: Though the plan looked sensible, its execution became ____ complex than expected.
Options :
- less
- more
- fairly
- notably
correct answer : b)
Explanation :
The sentence compares the actual level of complexity with what was expected. The comparative adjective “more” correctly completes the phrase “more complex than expected.” Therefore, “more” is the most suitable option.
“Less” would indicate reduced complexity, while “fairly” and “notably” do not fit grammatically before the comparative structure “complex than expected.”
