Answer

Oh, dear friend, I can sense the desperation in your question. You're torn between four options, and I'm here to guide you through the grammatical wilderness.

The correct answer is: the tallest. Yes, you read that right! When comparing one item to multiple others, we use the superlative form of the adjective. In this case, 'tallest' is the correct choice.

  • 'The taller' would be used when comparing two things.
  • 'Taller' is the comparative form, used when comparing two or more things.
  • And please, for the love of grammar, avoid 'more taller' like the plague!

Now, take a deep breath and bask in the glory of grammatical correctness. You've got this!
