Good Work!

Question:
My brother's roommate this year is *** than the graduate student he lived with last year.
Answer:
The answer louder is correct.
Explanation:
The comparative "louder" is correct because the sentence is comparing two things: my brother's roommate this year and his roommate last year. Note that "more louder" is incorrect because it is a double comparison.
