Back to paper

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the following sentence.

He is taller and most handsome than his friend.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. more.

  • The error in the sentence arises from the incorrect use of "most," which is a superlative form used when comparing three or more entities.
  • In this sentence, only two qualities ("taller" and "handsome") are being compared, so the comparative form "more" should be used instead of "most."
  • The correct sentence is "He is taller and more handsome than his friend."
