    Correct Answer
    C. Taller

    The correct answer is "more handsome." In this sentence, we are comparing the level of handsomeness between two men. To make this comparison, we use the comparative form of the adjective "handsome," which is "more handsome." This form is used when comparing two things or people, indicating that the man being referred to is more handsome than the speaker's father.

      Yellow

    • D.

      Yellowiest

    Correct Answer
    C. Yellow
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "yellow" because it is the standard adjective used to describe the color of bananas. "Yellowish" means somewhat yellow, "yellower" means more yellow than something else, and "yellowiest" means the most yellow out of a group. However, since no comparison or modification is provided in the sentence, the most appropriate and straightforward answer is "yellow."

      Couple

    • D.

      Twin

    Correct Answer
    D. Twin
    Explanation
    The word "twin" is the correct answer because it refers to two individuals who are born from the same pregnancy and share the same biological characteristics. In this context, the word "sisters" indicates that the two individuals are female siblings. Therefore, "twin" is the most appropriate term to describe the relationship between the two sisters.

    • C.

      Away

    • D.

      In

    Correct Answer
    B. Up
    Explanation
    When prices go up, demand decreases. This is because as prices increase, consumers are less willing or able to purchase the product or service at the higher cost. Higher prices can make the product less affordable or less attractive compared to other alternatives. As a result, demand decreases as consumers either choose to buy less of the product or switch to cheaper alternatives.
