a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5

ANSWER: 2
 
Remove 'more'.

Use of 'more better' would make the sentence double comparative, which is not standard English usage.

Similarly, double superlative is also incorrect.

The correct sentence should be: Her mother told him that it would be better if he would do his work himself.

Double superlative such as 'the most brightest' is also incorrect.

The correct expression would be 'the brightest'.
