Question

"Wealthier" is the comparative form of the adjective "wealthy." The word "most" is not needed because "wealthy" is already a two-syllable word. "More" would be used if the two-syllable adjective ended in -y (e.g. "happy" becomes "happier"). Option D is incorrect because "poorer" is the comparative form of the adjective "poor," but the sentence is asking for a comparison between Ben and his brother, meaning both are being compared in terms of their wealth.
