From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In grammar, the comparative is the form of an adjective or adverb which denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another, and is used in this context with a subordinating conjunction, such as than, as...as, etc. . If three or more items are being compared, the corresponding superlative needs to be used instead. StructureThe structure of a comparative in English consists normally of the positive form of the adjective or adverb, plus the suffix -er, or (in the case of polysyllabic words borrowed from foreign languages) the modifier "more" (or "less"/ "fewer") before the adjective or adverb. The form is usually completed by "than" and the noun which is being compared, e.g. "he is taller than his father is", or "the village is less picturesque than the town nearby". "Than" is used as a subordinating conjunction to introduce the second element of a comparative sentence while the first element expresses the difference ("our new house is larger than the old one"). There is less water in Saudi Arabia than there is in the United States; but however, there are fewer people in Canada than there are in California. From Wikipedia under the

The cost of producing a barrel of oil in the US is 10 labor hours and 12 labor hours in Mexico. The cost of producing a yard of cloth in the US is 12 labor hours and 13 labor hours in Mexico. The United States has absolute advantage in both markets, meaning it is cheaper for us to produce both of these items in terms of labor hours. If the US and Mexico opened trade in the oil and cloth market, the US's relative price for oil would be 10 / 12 = 1 / x x = 1.2 yards of cloth per barrel of oil and the US price for cloth would be: 12 / 10 = 1/x x = .83 barrels of oil per yard of cloth Meanwhile, Mexico's relative prices would be: Oil: 12 / 13 = 1/x x = 1.083 yards of cloth per barrel of oil Cloth: 13 / 12 = 1/ [cont.] Answered by roodawg - Thu Dec 11 08:28:06 2008 Can anyone find me a AP Comparative Government study book to help me for the exam?
