Correct Answer: His worse mistake
Solution : The second option is correct.
There is an error in the segment His worse mistake of the sentence. There is an error in the comparative adjective used in this part. Here's a bit more detail:
- Incorrect : His worse mistake.
- Correct : His worst mistake.
When comparing two things, you use the comparative form ( worse ). However, when comparing more than two things or discussing the extreme degree of something, you use the superlative form ( worst ).
Therefore, the corrected sentence would be, "His worst mistake was that he had left home without informing any of us".
