Back to paper

In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.

The performance of our players is worst than I had expected.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. worst than.

  1. The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Adjective".
  2. We need to replace "worst" with "worse" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • As there is "than" after the adjective, we need to keep it in the comparative degree.
  • "Comparative degree + than" is the correct structure.
  • Hence, the chosen option will be correct.

The correct sentence will be- 

The performance of our players is worse than I had expected.
