Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence is comparing two choices, so we need to use a comparative form. "More expensive" is correct because it shows a comparison between the two choices without overemphasizing the degree of expense. "Most expensive" is a superlative, which would be appropriate if comparing more than two choices. "Very expensive" and "expensive" are not comparative forms and do not accurately convey the comparison between the two choices.
