- Bmore careful ... more carefully
Разбор
The first gap needs an adjective after the verb 'is'. Since only two people are compared, we use the comparative, and 'careful' has three syllables, so we form it with 'more': 'more careful'. The second gap modifies the verb 'drives', so we need an adverb. The comparative of 'carefully' is 'more carefully', and 'than Peter' also requires a comparative. 'The most careful ... most carefully' is wrong because it is a superlative. 'More careful ... more careful' is wrong because it uses an adjective instead of an adverb after 'drives'. 'Carefuller' is not a possible form, because longer adjectives do not take -er.
