Correct Answer: much simpler


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

Explanation:
The word simple is an adjective that describes the quality of being uncomplicated or easy to understand. To form the comparative form of this adjective, much simpler is the appropriate choice to indicate a higher degree of simplicity compared to the speaker's expectations, as more should not be followed by the "er" comparative forms.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The examination was much simpler than I expected it to be.
