Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
Explanation:
The adjective "larger" in the original sentence is incorrect when comparing the circulation of "The Statesman" to that of all English dailies. While making a comparison with all, the superlative forms should be used. Therefore, "largest" is the correct form in this context, indicating that the newspaper has the greatest circulation among all English dailies.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The Statesman has the largest circulation of all English dailies."
