SSC CGL Tier II - English - 29th Jan 2022 • English • Q36

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

The more harder / you work, / the better / it will be.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. The more harder.

  • The error lies in the option 1 due to the wrong usage of the comparitives.
  • Using double comparatives i.e. more as well as harder is an error.
  • Therefore, 'The harder' should be used instead of "The more harder' in the given sentence.

The correct sentence will be:-

The harder you work, the better it will be.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. The more harder.
