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

The weather / is much / more warmer / than it was a few days before.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. more warmer

  • In the above sentence the use of the word 'more' is not required.
  • Words like 'more ' and 'warmer' are double comparatives and should not be used in the same sentence.
  • 'Much' is used for uncountables.
  • 'Than' in the sentence indicates comparison.
  • Hence, 'More' will be eliminated from the sentence.

The correct solution is-

The weather is much warmer than it was a few days before.
