SSC GD Const (English) - 26 Feb 2024 - Shift 4 • English • Q11

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

My cousin’s watch is more elegant than your old watch.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. No error.

"My cousin’s watch" correctly uses the possessive apostrophe to show ownership of the watch by "my cousin."

The sentence compares two items ("my cousin's watch" and "your old watch") using the comparative adjective "more elegant."

The comparative structure "more + adjective" is correctly used for adjectives that cannot take the "-er" form (elegant).

Hence, the sentence has no error.
