Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
Mahima is as smarter as Shilpi.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. as smart as.
The sentence "Mahima is as smarter as Shilpi." contains an error in the use of the word "smarter."
When making comparisons with "as...as", we use the positive form of the adjective, not the comparative form. The word "smarter" is a comparative form, which is incorrect in this construction.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- "Mahima is as smart as Shilpi."
