Answer

Ah-ah, I see what's going on here! You want to know which one is the correct answer, don't you? Well, let me tell you, it's not that hard, but I'll break it down for you anyway.

  • The correct answer is the cleverer. Why? Because we're comparing two brothers, and when we compare two things, we use the comparative form (e.g., cleverer, bigger, faster).
  • The cleverest would be used if we were comparing three or more brothers, and we wanted to say which one is the most clever of all.
  • The clever doesn't make sense in this context, as it's not a comparative form.
  • And please, don't even get me started on just cleverer without the article... that's just a mess!

So, there you have it! Now go forth and compare those brothers like a pro!
