SSC GD 2024 PYQ — Question 13

SSC GD Const (English) - 20 Feb 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q13

Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
Mansa is not ____________ than Mamta.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. taller.

Taller is a suitable option.

The appropriate comparative form of "tall" for comparing two individuals or objects is "Taller".

Compared to other options:

"Tallest": The superlative form "tallest" is used for comparisons involving more than two items, hence it is inappropriate here.

"More Taller": The sentence "More taller" is grammatically incorrect since the word "taller" suggests comparison by itself; thus, "more" is unnecessary.

"Tall": The adjective's fundamental form, "Tall", does not suggest a comparison.
