Identify the segment in the sentence, which contains the grammatical error.
The monster in the film was the most ugliest I ever saw.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. the most ugliest.
Error concept: Use of double superlative
What is wrong: The phrase “the most ugliest” is grammatically incorrect because it is a double comparative/superlative.
Grammatical concept: Adjectives like “ugly” form their superlative by adding “-est” (ugliest) or by using “most” (most ugly), but not both together.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using “the most ugliest” repeats the superlative form unnecessarily, which is incorrect.
How to correct: Use either “the ugliest” or “the most ugly” — but not both.
Correct phrase: “the ugliest”
Final sentence: The monster in the film was the ugliest I ever saw.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
