Let's go through each sentence and fill in the gaps with the correct form of the adjectives in brackets.
1) Henry's job is more interesting than Jack's.
- Explanation: The comparative form of the adjective "interesting" is "more interesting," as it is a multi-syllable adjective.
2) A: Thanks for your help with my CV, Angie.
B: It's the least I can do.

3) It's getting harder and harder for young people to get their first job.

4) Which job is the most tiring, a shop assistant, a waiter, or a delivery person?
- Explanation: "Tiring" is a multi-syllable adjective, so its superlative form is "the most tiring."
5) My student days were some of the happiest of my life!
- Explanation: When forming the superlative of a two-syllable adjective ending in -y, you change the -y to -i and add -est, making "happy" into "the happiest."
6) The more you prepare for an interview, the better you'll do.
