New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: than ever
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
Explanation: The error in the original sentence is the use of then instead of than. "Than" is used in comparisons, indicating a difference in degree, while "then" is used to denote time or a sequence of events. In this context, "than" is the correct word to express the comparison of the flames' height.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The flames had shot up higher than ever.
