In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'.
In my opinion (A)/a pencil is always (B)/ more preferable to a pen. (C)/ No error (D)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3, i.e. C
- The error is in part C of the sentence.
- The word 'more' is unnecessary. 'Preferrable' alone is sufficient.
- This is because the word 'preferrable' means 'more desired or suitable'. So to prefix it with 'more' is unnecessary and tautologous.
The correct sentence will be 'In my opinion a pencil is always preferable to a pen.'
