Correct Answer: more and more frenzier,


Solution : The second option is correct.

  • In the given sentence, the error is in the second part (more and more frenzier,) of the sentence.
  • The phrase more and more signifies an increase in degree, so it is redundant to then use frenzier since ( - er) is used to form the comparative degree of many adjectives and adverbs .
  • Instead, the correct form should be more and more frenzied . The word frenzied is an adjective in English that means wild and out of control, which fits the context of the sentence correctly.

Therefore, the correct answer is more and more frenzied .
