English Grammar - Sentence Completion

Select the correct option: Her interpretation was ___ than insightful; it bordered on the revelatory.


Options:

  1. less
  2. more
  3. other
  4. rather

Right Answer: more

The clause after the semicolon says that her interpretation 'bordered on the revelatory', which is a stronger quality than mere insight. The blank must therefore intensify rather than diminish, and with 'than' present a comparative form is required. 'More' supplies both, giving 'more than insightful'. 'Less' would reverse the meaning and contradict the second clause entirely. 'Other' produces 'other than insightful', which would deny that the interpretation was insightful at all. 'Rather' cannot combine with 'than' in this position to form the required comparative. Hence the correct answer is more.
