Correct Answer: (1)


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

Explanation : When the comparative degree is used as an adverb, it should be preceded by the article "the". Comparison and contrast are expressed by the use of "the" with comparative adjectives "more" and "worse" in parallel clauses. This structure is used to show a proportionate increase or decrease.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: " The more you think of it, the worse it becomes."
