Hi DavidG,

Thanks for your response, but i want to know: the difference between " closely integrated more than ever before" " and " more closely integrated than ever before"

Hi Fiza,

More modifies the word it precedes. So below are the 2 meanings:

closely integrated more than ever before" - This means that the frequency of integration is greater than earlier. Their is no comparison between the degree of their close integration. So maybe their integration was earlier close or not close.

" more closely integrated than ever before" - Here more modifies closely integrated. This means that their is greater integration than the previous close integration.
