Ramesh is smarter enough (A)/ to get selected for this post,(B)/ without any recommendations. (C)/ No Error (D)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option A i.e. Ramesh is smarter enough.

The error lies in part A of the statement because of the wrong use of the Adjective.

Concept-

  • We need to replace "smarter" with "smart" for making the statement grammatically correct. 
  • With the use of Enough, we always use a Positive degree of Adjective.
  • Example- intelligent enough, long enough, wise enough.

The correct sentence will be-

Ramesh is smart enough to get selected for this post, without any recommendations.
