This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Identify the degree of comparison of the underlined adjective or adverb.
Read the sentence.
We would like to work in the soup kitchen<u> more frequently</u> next year.
Which best identifies the degree of comparison of the underlined adjective or adverb?
A. positive
B. comparative
C. superlative
D. imperative
Answer:
The degree of comparison of "more frequently" is:
B. comparative.
Explanation:
In English, adjectives and adverbs can be modified with the comparative or the superlative degree of comparison.
The comparative degree can be further divided into two: superiority and inferiority. The latter uses "less" to make the comparison. For example: She is less tall than I am. The former can either use "more" or add -er to the ending of the adjective or adverb being compared. For example: Anna is more talkative than her sister. / Jessica is friendlier than her brother.
In "more frequently", we have an example of comparative degree - more specifically of superiority.
