Answer 1

Respuesta:

I picked this house because it's quieter than the houses in the city centre.

My parents would be in the countryside happier than in the busy town.

I think my town will be bigger in 20 years' time.

In Spain, one of the most popular festivals is in January. It's Día de los Reyes Magos.

Henry is the most intelligent person in our class.

My cousins live farther from my grandparents than me.

I think this is the best advice I can give you.

This mirror is cheaper than that one. I think I'll take both!

Explicación:

En general:

Para una comparación entre dos cosas, usa "-er". Sin embargo, hay excepciones irregulares con esta regla como "farther", así que no olvides aprenderlas.

Si algo es mejor que todas las cosas, usa "the most ____". Hay excepciones irregulares también.

(Para 2, en inglés yo diría "My parents would be happier in the countryside than in the busy town." La estructura de la oración original es un poco extraña. No sé por qué la oración está escrita así.)
