TOEIC Part5「比較」の解き方と頻出パターン｜練習10問つき
比較の問題は、文中の than / the / as などの手がかりを見れば形が決まります。比較級を強める副詞（much, far, even）や、最上級と一緒に使う表現も狙われます。
解き方のポイント
- than があれば比較級（-er / more）
- the ___ of / in / that I have ever ~ なら最上級
- as ___ as の間は原級
- 比較級を強めるのは much / far / even / still（very は使えない）
- the + 比較級, the + 比較級（〜すればするほど…）
ひっかけ注意
- superior / inferior / prior は than ではなく to をとる
- more の後ろに -er 形は重ねない（more cheaper は誤り）
- one of the + 最上級 + 複数名詞
例文で確認
| This model is much lighter than the previous one. | 比較級の強調 → much |
| It is the largest conference in the region. | the + in → 最上級 |
| The new design is superior to the old one. | superior to |

Q1. The candidate's qualifications were ___ impressive than those of other applicants.
答えと解説を見る
正解: C) more
The sentence contains 'than', comparing two things, so 'more' (which forms the comparative) is correct. 'Impressive' has three or more syllables, so its comparative is formed with 'more'. 'Very' only intensifies the base form and can't combine with 'than'. 'Most' is the superlative. 'Much' can intensify a comparative but can't form one alone (it would need to be 'much more impressive').
Q2. The new software is much ___ to use than the previous version.
答えと解説を見る
正解: B) easier
The sentence ends with 'than the previous version', comparing two things, so the comparative 'easier' is required. 'Easy' is the base form and can't pair with 'than'. 'Easiest' is the superlative, used for three or more items, and doesn't take 'than'. 'More easily' is the comparative of an adverb, but the blank is the complement of 'is' (an adjective slot), not an adverb slot.
Q3. The Cadogan hotel is ___ quieter than the one downtown.
Q4. The results of the blood test were ___ than the doctor had expected.
答えと解説を見る
正解: B) more favorable
'Than' signals a comparison, so the comparative 'more favorable' is needed.
