Direction: Fill in the blanks with suitable word(s).
I had to spend 5 minutes on the 3rd question and had great difficulty answering it. I think it was __________ of all.
- more confusing than
- as confusing as
- the most confused
- the most confusing
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - the most confusing
The sentence needs the superlative because the question is compared with all the others: 'It was the most confusing of all.' 'Confusing' describes something that causes confusion, while 'confused' describes the person who feels it, so 'the most confused' is wrong for a question. 'More confusing than' and 'as confusing as' are comparative forms that cannot be followed by 'of all'.
