Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Comparative degree
Explanation:
The adjective in the sentence is better, which is the comparative form of "good." Comparative degree is used to compare two people or things.
Positive degree: the base form of an adjective that describes a quality without comparison (example: "good").
Comparative degree: used to compare two persons or things (example: "better" is the comparative of "good").
Superlative degree: used to compare three or more persons or things (example: "best").
Application to the sentence: The sentence compares the content one person could create with the content created by the top freelancer — that is a comparison between two entities — so the comparative adjective "better" is correctly used.
Note: "better" is an irregular comparative form of "good."
