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

No least than fifty participants were present for the singing competition.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. No least than.

  1. The error lies in option 1 because of the wrong use of "Adjective".
  2. We need to replace "Least" with "Less" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • "No less than" is the correct phrase to use here.
  • The chosen option contains the ERROR hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

No less than fifty participants were present for the singing competition.
