Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
The tea at this café is best than at the Costa Café in our office.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. is best than.
-
The phrase "is best than" is incorrect because "best" is the superlative form of the adjective "good," used to compare three or more items.
-
whereas, "better" is the comparative form used to compare two items.
-
In this sentence, the comparison is between the tea at two cafés, so the correct form is "is better than."
-
Thus, the revised sentence would read: "The tea at this café is better than at the Costa Café in our office."
