a. and d. are both correct.

a. more interesting
b. more good
c. most better
d. most interesting

Yes, only a. is correct here.

The dog ate its food__
a. greedy
b. greedily
c. more greedy
d. quick

Yes, b. is correct. Some people will say d. in everyday conversation, however.

the sailor is___than the rest of his crew.
a. more skilled
b. skillfully
c.skillful
d. most skilled

a. is correct because of the word "than". "Most skilled than" would be incorrect.

I thought the answer for the last question is d because it compares more than 2.

Thanks again :)
