SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 177

SSC Stenographer - 07 Aug 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q177

Identify the error in the sentence.

Mount Everest is more highest peak in the world.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The word "highest" is already a superlative adjective (the form used to compare three or more things). Adding "more" creates a double superlative, which is grammatically incorrect.

Superlative adjectives also require the definite article "the" before them.

Therefore, ‘more’ should be replaced with ‘the most’.

The Correct Sentence: Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world.
