Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some 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".
His composition (1) / is inferior (2) / than mine. (3) / No Error. (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The reason for the error is that the word "inferior" is followed by the preposition "to" when making comparisons. So, "to" should replace "than" to maintain the proper grammatical structure as adjectives ending in (ior) are followed by the preposition " to".
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "His composition is inferior to mine."
