That sentence in "Past Perfect".

Past perfect must have two sentences and one in simple past and another one past perfect.

S+V1+O & S+had+v3+O.

Why it cannot be "worst than I expected"? The first part of the sentence is in simple past so I feel. I expected would be correct which is not given in options.

The sentance is past perfect that's why we use worse.

Worse - it is a comparative form basically mean more bad.

Worst - it is a superlative form which mean most bad.
