Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".
Rahul was (1) / the richest of (2) / the two persons. (3) / No Error (4)
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.
The word ''richest'' should be replaced with ''richer'' to convey the intended meaning that of the two of them, Rahul had more wealth. The comparative degree is usually used when comparing between two traits. "The" is used with the comparative degree when we are referring to a particular person, place, or thing out of a lot of two people or things.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " Rahul was the richer of the two persons. "
