Correct Answer:  younger
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 2.

The participants were much younger than the judges .

Explanation:

When comparing two things, people, or circumstances, the adjective is prefixed with "er" or "more" when used in conjunction with the word "than."

The word "than" following the blank indicates that the word "young" must have a comparative degree.
- "Younger" is the comparative degree of "young." Therefore, "Younger" is the appropriate response.
