Complete the frustrated musician's diary entry by choosing the correct word.

Even though I practiced for weeks, my pet parrot sings the national anthem _____ than I do.

The correct answer is better.

Here, we need an adverb to describe the verb sings. The adverb form of "good" is "well." Because we are comparing two things (the writer and the parrot) using "than," we must use the comparative form. The comparative form of the irregular adverb "well" is better.
