Question

In the question pick up one phrase / clause from the options given, that will complete the sentence logically.
The more we looked at the piece of modern art _________

• A. we liked it less
• B. better we liked it
• C. the less we liked it
• D. we liked it more and more

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the given problem of completing the sentence logically, we need to assess the context and grammatical structure of the sentence: "The more we looked at the piece of modern art _________". This sentence is structured to compare two actions or feelings linked by "the more" and another comparative phrase. Among the provided options: 

• "we liked it less" - Grammatically incorrect because it does not follow the "the more...the more" comparative structure.
• "better we liked it" - Logically completes the sentence as it fits an implied comparative structure, suggesting that increased observation led to increased appreciation.
• "the less we liked it" - Logical but inversely correlates to increasing viewing and liking, which can be a possible choice.
• "we liked it more and more" - Unfit with "the more... the more" structure because it doesn't use "the more" comparative phrase.

The sentence constructs a common correlation between perception and liking it, expecting a comparative growth or change: "The more we looked at the piece of modern art, better we liked it." Therefore, the correct option is "better we liked it" as it maintains grammatical harmony and logical coherence.
