61. Her health is __________ better now.

62. There were __________ people at the concert than expected.

- B. less
- A. fewer
- C. little
व्याख्या: 'People' is a countable noun. Therefore, the comparative 'fewer' should be used. 'Less' is used for uncountable nouns.
63. The __________ house on the street is theirs.
- A. farther
- D. farthest
- B. further

65. The rose smells __________.

66. This coffee is more __________ than that one.
- B. bitterer
- D. most bitter
- C. bitterest

- D. a little
- B. a few
