Here; "SWEET" is enough, MORE & SWEET"ER" can't occur together.

The answer should be A. Do roses in your garden smell.

Here 'the' is unnecessary.

Here, More sweeter is grammatically incorrect. It can either be more sweet or only sweeter. But, grammatically the correct one is Sweeter.

When we make a comparison between two objects we use comparative form. So sweeter is the answer.

'does' is used for third person singular.

The answer is D, No error.

A-> Here the subject is roses because this is a compound sub example. So the main sub is the word just before the preposition in.

B-> more sweetly is correct. Here more sweetly used as an adverb of manner.

C-> those in ours is correct because that rose is plural so those and ours means smell in our garden.

I believe the error is in A as well as in B. In 'A' "let" can replace "do" and in B, 'sweeter' can replace "more sweetly"

We can never use comparative degrees for both the words. There's nothing like MORE SWEETER.

It's just sweeter.
