Answer 3

The correct variant is:

B. highly

Explanation:

In this context, the word "thinks" is a verb, and we need an adverb to describe how Mr. Brown thinks of himself. Adverbs are used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. The adverb form of "high" is "highly."

Option A, "high," is an adjective, which means it describes a noun, not a verb.

Option C, "higher," is a comparative adjective, which is used to compare two things, not to modify a verb.

Option D, "highest," is a superlative adjective, which is used to compare three or more things, not to modify a verb.

Option E, "more highly," is redundant because "highly" is already an adverb, and adding "more" would be unnecessary.

Therefore, the correct answer is "B. highly." It describes how Mr. Brown thinks of himself, indicating that he has a high opinion of himself.
