Correct Answer: more brave than intelligent


Solution : The correct choice is the f irst option.

"Himanshu is braver than intelligent" seems to compare bravery and intelligence, implying that Himanshu is more courageous than intelligent, which might not be the intended meaning.

The sentence implies that Himanshu's level of bravery exceeds his level of intelligence. When two qualities of the same person are compared, we use more or less a positive degree of adjective to denote the intensity of one quality over the other.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Himanshu is more brave than intelligent."
