Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
She is / the very ambitious woman / I have ever / come across.
Option 1: I have hard ever
Option 2: She is
Option 3: the very ambitious women
Option 4: come accross
Correct Answer: the very ambitious women
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
The modifier "very" should be replaced with "most" to make the sentence grammatically accurate.
"Very" is used to intensify or emphasise the degree, while "most" is the superlative degree to express the highest level or degree among a group or compared to others.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "She is the
most
ambitious woman I have ever come across".
