Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The more obvious feature.

The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of the adjective.

Concept-

  • We need to replace 'more' with 'most' to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • 'More' is used when two persons/things are mentioned.
  • Since all the 'features' are compared, the superlative degree is appropriate.
  • So we need to use 'most' at the place of 'more'.

The correct sentence will be-

The most obvious feature of the modern world is the enormous development of Science and Technology.
