1. **Question**: John sings......than anyone in the choir.
**Answer**: **B. more beautiful**
**Explanation**: The correct phrase would be "John sings more beautifully than anyone in the choir." The adverb "beautifully" describes how he sings, while "more" serves to compare his singing to others. Because the sentence is intended to make a comparison, "more beautifully" would be the grammatically correct choice here instead of "more beautiful," which is an adjective.

2. **Question**: My dad ......drinking coffee with a little sugar.
**Answer**: **b. like**
**Explanation**: The correct choice is "likes." The full sentence would be "My dad likes drinking coffee with a little sugar." "Like" is the appropriate verb form used here for expressing an enjoyment of an activity. "Prefer" (a) could also work if the context is specifically about preference, but it's typically followed by "to" or "over," e.g., "He prefers drinking coffee to tea." The option **c. loves** and **d. dislike** would not fit well without altering the meaning intended.
