1. She sings more beautifully than her sister.

2. Tom runs faster than Mike.

4. I finished my homework more quickly than my brother.

6. Lisa types more slowly than Mark.

Краткое объяснение правил:

Для большинства наречий на -ly сравнительная степень образуется с помощью more:

• beautifully → more beautifully

• quickly → more quickly

• slowly → more slowly

• easily → more easily

Короткие наречия обычно получают окончание -er:

• fast → faster

• hard → harder

При сравнении двух действий как одинаковых по степени используется конструкция:

as + adverb + as

Например:

• as fluently as — так же бегло, как

• as carefully as — так же осторожно, как

• as early as — так же рано, как

• as clearly as — так же ясно, как

Task 2: в сообщении есть только инструкция “Each sentence below has a mistake in the use of comparative adverbs”, но сами предложения для Task 2 не приведены, поэтому исправить их по данному тексту невозможно.
