The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
The food / in the new eatery / is much best than / the one in RK Puram.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. is much best than.

  • The error lies in option 2 due to the wrong usage of comparitive adjectives.

  • Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify.They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared.

  • Therefore, the use of 'much best than' in the sentence should be replaced by 'much better than' to make it grammatically correct.

The correct sentence is:- The food in the new eatery is much better than the one in RK Puram.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. is much best than.
