More sweet or sweeter only.

Yes, agree @Rags.

I feel this is the right answer, (I am not a professional, this is my review).

Do the roses in your garden smell.

More sweet/sweeter (if you mention "sweeter", more doesn't suit the sentence).

Then those in ours?

When should we use 'than that of those in ours'?

Akhil said:   8 years ago
Double comparatives are not allowed.

Shreeshail said:   8 years ago
Why we should not use sweetly.

Shwetank Singh said:   7 years ago
@Rags is right.

It should be "more sweet" rather than "more sweeter".

Option B is correct.

More sweetly -> sweeter.

@All.

"More sweetly" can be poetic or biblical language, hence it may fit in certain contexts.

Vertika is right.
