The climate(A)/ of Mumbai (B)/ is better than Hyderabad.(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.
- When a comparison is being made, it should be between two entities of the same nature.
- In the sentence the 'climate of Mumbai' is being compared to the 'city Hyderabad'.
- Whereas, the correct sentence would be a comparison between 'climate of Mumbai' and the 'climate of Hyderabad'.
- Therefore, the words 'that of' should be added after 'than'.
The correct sentence will be, 'The climate of Mumbai is better than that of Hyderabad.'
