Correct Answer: patterns are made more scarcer, other
Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.
The original sentence contains a grammatical redundancy. The phrase more scarcer contains an unnecessary use of the word more along with scarcer .
According to the adjective rule, when comparing or expressing a degree of intensity, certain words, like scarcer already carry the idea of scarcity or insufficiency. Adding more before such words can be considered redundant.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: If conventional arrangements and patterns are made scarcer, other arrangements and patterns will spring up.
