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".
