Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence: The book is more better than the previous one.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Given sentence:
“The book is more better than the previous one.”
Error Type: Double Comparative
Rule:
An adjective should not take double comparison.
“Better” is already the comparative form of “good.”
Forms of “good”:
Positive – good
Comparative – better
Superlative – best
Incorrect: more better
Correct: better
“More” is used with longer adjectives (e.g., more beautiful), but irregular adjectives like “good” already have a comparative form (better). Therefore, adding “more” makes it grammatically incorrect.
Option Analysis:
much better than — grammatically correct in general usage, but it changes the structure instead of simply correcting the error.
better from — incorrect preposition.
more good than — incorrect formation.
better than — correct correction of the given sentence.
Correct sentence:
The book is better than the previous one.
