Correct Answer: too sticky


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The word stickiest is the superlative form of sticky , but in this context, the positive form sticky is more appropriate. The positive form of the adjective would be more accurate here as the quality of dough is expressed here, and the adverb "too" already emphasises the sticky nature of the dough.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
