What term is used to describe a greater degree or comparison between two persons or things?

Superlative
Comparative
Indicative
Descriptive

The correct answer is: Comparative

The term that refers specifically to a greater degree of comparison between two persons or things is "comparative." This grammatical term is used when comparing differences between two entities, often formed by adding "er" to the end of an adjective or using "more" in front of it (e.g., "taller" or "more beautiful"). In contrast, "superlative" refers to the highest degree of comparison, typically involving three or more entities and often formed by adding "est" or using "most" (e.g., "tallest" or "most beautiful"). "Indicative" and "descriptive" do not relate specifically to degrees of comparison; instead, they pertain to other grammatical concepts. Therefore, the correct choice accurately identifies the term that denotes comparison between two subjects.
