Correct Answer: smarter and stronger


Solution : The third option is correct.

The phrase than Larry’s dog completes the comparison, indicating that Tia desired a dog possessing greater intelligence and strength compared to the intelligence and strength of Larry's dog. So, we need to use a comparative adjective here.

Comparative adjectives : They are used when comparing two things, indicating a higher or lower degree of a particular quality. The comparative form is used to show that one thing has more or less of a quality than another. Here, the given comparative forms of the adjectives are smarter and stronger.

So, the complete sentence would be: "Tia wanted a dog that was smarter and stronger than Larry’s dog."
