Back to paper

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
He is as concerned as me / regarding / the renewed / examination schedule.
 

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. He is as concerned as me.

 

Error Concept: Incorrect pronoun case

What is wrong:

  • The phrase "as concerned as me" uses the object pronoun "me", but it is being compared with the subject "He".

  • When making comparisons using “as...as,” the pronoun after “as” should be in the subjective case, not the objective.

Grammatical Rule: Use subject pronouns (I, he, she, we, they) after as or than in comparisons.

Correction: Replace “me” with “I”.

Corrected Sentence: He is as concerned as I regarding the renewed examination schedule.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
