Question 2

The campus is farther down the road.

This sentence correctly uses "farther" to indicate a physical distance, making it grammatically accurate in the context of the question.

A) The campus is farther down the road.

This option is correct as it uses "farther" appropriately to refer to a greater physical distance. The sentence structure is also clear and grammatically sound, indicating a specific location along the road.

B) The campus is farther up the road.

While this sentence is grammatically correct, it may lead to ambiguity in meaning. The use of "up" is less conventional when discussing distance in this context, as "down" more clearly indicates a direction along a road, which could confuse the reader.

C) I will have to consider further before making a decision.

This sentence is incorrect in the context of the question because it uses "further" incorrectly. "Further" is typically used for figurative or abstract distances, while "farther" is preferred for physical distances, making this option inappropriate for the grammatical correctness being tested.

D) The hospital was farther away than he thought.

This sentence is also grammatically correct; however, it does not apply to the context of the original question, which specifically asks for the correct application of "farther" in relation to the campus and its location. Thus, while correct, it does not answer the question appropriately.

Conclusion

Option A is definitively correct as it accurately employs "farther" in a context indicating physical distance. Options B and D, while grammatically correct, do not fit the specific context of the question regarding the campus. Option C misuses "further," failing to meet the grammatical requirement being assessed.
