Кратко

Почему так
У наречий степени сравнения образуются похоже на прилагательные, но важно смотреть на само наречие:
- короткие наречия, часто совпадающие с прилагательными (fast, late, near, early, loud, high), получают -er / -est;
- наречия на -ly (politely, quickly, clearly, patiently, frequently, peacefully, easily) образуют степени с more / most;
- исключения: well → better → best, badly → worse → worst.
Нельзя механически прибавлять most к короткому слову или -er к длинному наречию на -ly.
Разбор ошибок
Peter usually comes to his classes latest of his classmates.
late — короткое наречие, поэтому latest, а не most late.This time he listened to his little sister more patiently than usual.
patiently — наречие на -ly, значит more patiently.Who lives nearer to the school — you or your friend?
near — короткое наречие, поэтому nearer, а не more near.Alice goes to the theatre most frequently of us all.
frequently — наречие на -ly, значит most frequently.In December it snows more often than in November.
В учебной норме often образует степени с more / most; oftener — разговорный вариант.He knows three languages but he speaks English most easily.
easiest — форма прилагательного easy, а наречие — easily, поэтому most easily.Last night I slept more peacefully than before.
peacefully — наречие на -ly, значит more peacefully.Could you come to school earlier and water the plants tomorrow?
early — двусложное наречие на -y, поэтому earlier, а не more early.This new computer works fastest and can solve problems in no time.
fast — короткое наречие, поэтому fastest, а не most fast.
Почему верны остальные
- more politely — правильно: наречие на -ly.
- most quickly — правильно.
- a little slower — допустимо; строгая норма — more slowly, но в разговорной речи slower не считается грубой ошибкой.
- to sing best / loudest — верно: это наречия в превосходной степени, артикль the здесь не обязателен.
- much more clearly — верно: much усиливает сравнение.
- a bit higher — верно.
