Hi.
I'm having a little trouble putting together the following sentence.
This dog isn't that dirty, or at least...
A) ...it isn't any dirtier than the rest.
B) ...it's no dirtier than the rest.
C) ...it's no more dirty than the rest.
D) ...it's in no way dirtier than the rest.
I personally think that D is correct, but it's not quite what I'm trying to say. I'm probably really trying to decide between A, B and C. A and B seem grammatically correct to me, while in sentence C it seems incorrect to say 'more dirty', rather than simply 'dirtier' (as in sentence B).
Any advice?
