The given sentence has an error. Choose the option that corrects the error.
Throw a rounder stone to create ripples in the water.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Throw a round stone to create ripples in the water.
The correction is needed because the original sentence uses "a rounder stone", which is the comparative form of the adjective "round". "Rounder" implies a comparison between stones, suggesting that the stone being referred to is rounder than another stone.
However, the sentence aims to describe the stone's shape in a straightforward manner, not in comparison to another stone.
"A round stone" is the correct form because "round" is a simple adjective describing the stone's shape. It directly conveys that the stone should be round in shape to create ripples, without implying any comparison.
