Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.

People put considerably many more effort when working in groups than when working alone.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. People put considerably many more.

"People put considerably many more" is the incorrect segment. The correct phrase should be "considerably more effort".

The word "many" is not needed here as "effort" is an uncountable noun.

Moreover, "considerably" is already an adverb that modifies the adjective "more". Adding "many" is redundant and incorrect.

The correct sentence is- People put considerably more effort when working in groups than when working alone.
