Correct Answer: knock so louder


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The adjective "loud" should be modified using the adverb form "loudly" in the comparative construction "so loudly" instead of "so louder". This correction adheres to proper grammatical structure, specifically in terms of forming comparatives and expressing the intensity or manner of an action.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Can you not knock so loudly in the morning?"
