I am a bit confused about which of the following two sentences are correct.

[A] Education plays a more and more significant role in people's lives.

[B] Education plays more and more a significant role in people's lives.

Are both of these sentences ok?

Best Answer

[A] Education plays a more and more significant role in people's lives.

[B] Education plays more and more a significant role in people's lives.

It is different depending on a situation. Also both are correct.

In A case, the adverb phrase "more and more" modifies an adjective "significant"

In B case, the adverb phrase "more and more" modifies an main verb "play"
