SSC GD 2021 PYQ — Question 16

SSC GD Constable (English) - 24th November 2021 Shift 1 • English • Q16

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains
a grammatical error.

Their dog is / more better / trained than / our dog.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  • The second part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature.
  • Better in itself is a comparative word, adding the adjective 'more' to the same sentence makes it superfluous in nature.
  • Thus, if better is used, the adjective more should be removed from the given sentence.

The correct sentence is: 

Their dog is better trained than our dog.
