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 that follows the blank says that her interpretation 'bordered on the revelatory', which means it was even stronger than a merely insightful reading. The sentence therefore needs a comparative expression that raises the level of praise rather than lowering it. The structure 'more ... than' does exactly this, giving the meaning that the interpretation was more than insightful. 'Less' would reverse the intended sense, while 'other' and 'rather' cannot be used with 'than' in this comparative pattern and would make the sentence ungrammatical. Hence the correct option is 'more'.
