Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error.

Ritesh is best than many other boys in his class.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Ritesh is best.

  1. The error lies in option 4 because of the wrong use of "Adjective".
  2. We need to replace "Best" with "Better" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • The use of "Then" in the given statement shows the sense of comparison hence, we need to use the comparative degree of the adjective.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

Ritesh is better than many other boys in his class.
