Correct Answer: The young pirate is cleverer than the captain of the ship.


Solution : The grammatically correct sentence is the second option.

It uses the correct comparative form of clever, which is "cleverer" in the context of the sentence, as the comparison is made between two people, the young pirate and the captain. Thus, "cleverer" is the most appropriate choice because it fits correctly before "than".

The other options do not have the correct use of the comparative form of clever with the use of "than".
