Answer 2

The correct answer is D. That canoe sits more lower in the water than any other canoe I’ve seen.

Explanation:

In grammar, an incorrect or illogical comparison occurs as two or more elements that do not belong to the same category are compared or the grammatical structure used for the comparison is incorrect especially in regards of the use of the comparative adjectives. Considering this, the sentence that is an example of this is "That canoe sits more lower in the water than any other canoe I’ve seen" because even when this sentence compares two elements that belong to the same category (two canoes) the use of "more lower" to create the comparison is incorrect as in this case it is required to use only the word "lower" and therefore this sentence is an example of an incorrect comparison.
