Which choice is an example of an incorrect or illogical comparison? A. My sister has had more summer jobs than anyone in our family. B. Uncle Pete likes his new job more than his old job. C. Adults without a high school diploma might have a more difficult time finding an office job than other adults. D. Katie insists that an office job would be less interesting than an outdoor job.

Answer :

The correct answer is A, "My sister has had more summer jobs than anyone in our family."

When comparing only two things or people we would use more and than. However, since we are comparing the sister with everyone in the family, it makes more since to say, "My sister has had the most summer jobs in the family." Instead of using more and than, we use most.
