请帮忙解释一下以下英语选择题

1.Of the two brothers,the younger is ___
a.the less patient b.less handsome
2.Of the two pictures,this one is ___
a.by far the better b.by far better

第一题选b,第二题选a,为什么啊?

第一题中less修饰形容词handsome ,表示低级比较.
第二题中by far用来修饰the better ,表示.....得多.这是一种固定搭配.

请你细细体会
1. the younger is less handsome.
=the younger is the less handsome one.
2. this one is better.
=this one is the better one.
this one is by far the better.(固定搭配)
