Two adverbs in a row?

Is it correct to say "something is rather easier to accomplish, because..."?
Thanks

I prefer sentences that get straight to the point. You could just say," Something is easy to accomplish because" ( note that I removed the comma after accomplish) You should also notice that I removed "rather" from your sentence. It does not add much value or meaning.

It is. But 'easier' isn't an adverb (It's an adjective), so you don't have two adverbs in a row — though the -er ending serves as a stand-in for 'more', so through some tortured logic perhaps you do have two adverbs in a row — sort of.
