Correct answer: A. No star is brighter than the moon.
- A. No star is brighter than the moon.
- B. No star is more bright than the moon.
- C. No star is brighter then the moon
- D. No star is brighter than moon.
Explanation
More bright is wrong since, in the comparative verb form, bright becomes brighter. "Than" should be used instead of then. Lastly, the article "the" should be used as the sentence is mentioning the moon, which is specific.
