Question : Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error: If there is no error, select 'No Error'.
Professor Murli's eyebrows / rose a little higher and his / gaze became distinctly coldest.
Option 1: gaze became distinctly coldest.
Option 2: No Error
Option 3: Professor Murli's eyebrows
Option 4: rose a little higher and his
Correct Answer: gaze became distinctly coldest.
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
The segment that contains a grammatical error is, gaze became distinctly coldest.
The error lies in the word coldest . The correct form should be that his gaze became distinctly colder . The word coldest is the superlative form of cold , which doesn't fit well in this context. Instead, the comparative form colder should be used to indicate a comparison in the degree of coldness in the gaze.
Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: "Professor Murli's eyebrows rose a little higher, and his gaze became distinctly colder ."
