Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The more harder / you work, / the better / it will be.
Option 1: The more harder
Option 2: you work
Option 3: it will be
Option 4: the better
Correct Answer: The more harder
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
Explanation:
The error lies in using both
more
and
harder
together, which creates redundancy.
Harder
already signifies a comparative degree, so adding
more
before it is unnecessary. The correction involves removing
more
because
harder
already conveys the comparative degree.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be, " The harder you work, the better it will be".
