Select the correct option:

Question

Accepted Answer

1. The sentence compares how workable the plan looked on paper with how it was to execute.
2. For comparisons we use a comparative word + adjective + **than**, e.g. **more complicated than**.
3. (a) "less" is opposite, (c) "much" needs "more" before the adjective, (d) "rather" doesn't fit with "than" here.
4. So **more** is the correct choice.
