Correct Answer: very richer than jim


Solution : The first option is correct.

In the sentence provided, the error lies in the use of very with the comparative form of the adjective "rich". When making comparisons, adjectives like rich form their comparative and superlative degrees without the use of very .

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Bobo was richer than Jim, as he had illicitly accumulated all his wealth.
