Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The phrase "more easier" should be replaced with "easier" since it is grammatically incorrect. The sentence conveys the meaning that two subjects are easier in comparison of the other two subjects. The word "easier" already denotes a comparative degree, meaning that it is used to compare two things. Adding "more" before "easier" is redundant and grammatically incorrect.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Mathematics and Chemistry are easier than Physics and Biology."
