Correct Answer: mountain however was most


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

More should replace most , as it is the correct comparative form that should be used. The sentence requires a comparative form, as it is comparing the descent to the ascent.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: To descend a cragged mountain, however, was more difficult and dangerous than to ascend it.
