Correct Answer: cleanest, a home worthy of


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The error lies in the inconsistent use of comparative adjectives. The adjective "neat" is a positive form, but the comparative "cleanest" is used afterwards. To maintain parallelism and consistency, both adjectives should either be in their positive form or their comparative form.

So, the correct sentence would be: It would be neat and clean , a home worthy of spending our lives together.
