The Dussehra celebrations / in Mysore / this year / are grandest than / in any other part / of the state.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. are grandest than.
- The error lies in option 2 because of the wrong use of "superlative degree ".
- We need to replace "grandest" with 'grander' to make the statement grammatically correct.
Grammatical concept:-
- Comparitive degree will be used with the word than.
- Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object) will be the correct structure.
Correct Sentence: The Dussehra celebrations in Mysore this year are grander than in any other part of the state.
Hence, error lies in option 2, so it is correct.
