The correct answer is 'by far the brightest'.

Key Points

  • The underlined part of the sentence has an error in adjective. 
  • Instead of the normal adjective bright we need to use the superlative adjective brightest as the subject (you) is being compared to a group of objects (class).
  • Hence, the correct improvement of the underlined part is by far the brightest. 
  • So, option 4 is the correct answer. 

Correct sentence - You are by far the brightest student in the class.
