Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.
She is educated than her sister.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. more educated.
The underlined part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature.
The grammatical error in the sentence is the comparison of nouns "educated" and "her sister" without a comparative adjective or adverb.
To make a comparison between two nouns, a comparative adjective or adverb must be used. In this sentence, "educated" is not an adjective or adverb, so it cannot be used to make a comparison.
The correct form of the sentence would be "She is more educated than her sister."
The comparative adjective "more" is used to indicate a higher level of education for the subject (She) compared to her sister.
Thus, the correct sentence is:
She is more educated than her sister.
