Which sentence correctly uses ‘much’ rather than ‘very’ to intensify a comparative adjective?

Explanation

Comparative adjectives, such as ‘better,’ ‘faster,’ and ‘smaller,’ are intensified using words like ‘much,’ ‘far,’ or ‘a lot,’ rather than ‘very,’ which is reserved for intensifying regular, non-comparative adjectives. This is why ‘much better’ is correct, while ‘very better’ is a common and frequently tested error, since ‘very’ does not grammatically combine with comparative forms.
