Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose "No error".
Sham is trying to study hardest for his upcoming exams
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. to study hardest for.
The error is in the phrase "study hardest." It should be "study hard" instead.
The word "hard" is an adverb that means to put in a lot of effort, while "hardest" is the superlative form, which would require a comparison (e.g., "Sham is studying the hardest among his friends").
Since no comparison is being made in the sentence, "hard" is the correct form.
