Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

(What is worser) is that there is practically no room for improved relations as long as Mr. Gupta keeps the issue floating.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. What is worse.

  • 'Worser' is not any word.
  • 'Worsen' is a verb of the base form and it is not used after 'is'.
  • The three degrees of 'bad' are-bad, worse, worst.
  • A comparative degree is used to show a comparison between the two.
  • Since there are two factors mentioned, a comparative degree will be used.

The correct sentence will be-

What is worse is that there is practically no room for improved relations as long as Mr. Gupta keeps the issue floating.
