Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rahul is very naughty as he is the youngest sibling among Rama’s three brothers.
Error concept: Wrong adjective form and wrong preposition usage
What is wrong:
-
The phrase most young is incorrect because the correct superlative of young is youngest.
-
The preposition between is wrong when referring to more than two people; the correct word is among.
Grammatical concept:
-
Use youngest (superlative) instead of most young.
-
Use among when talking about more than two persons or things.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Since Rama has three brothers, the correct phrase is youngest sibling among them.
How to correct: Replace most young with youngest and between with among.
Correct phrase/ correction: youngest sibling among Rama’s three brothers
Final sentence: Rahul is very naughty as he is the youngest sibling among Rama’s three brothers.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
