Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. No error.
Error concept: Checking for errors in adjective and adverb usage with linking verbs.
What is wrong: There is no grammatical error in this sentence.
The verb “looks” here is a linking verb, and it correctly connects the subject (Meenu) to the adjective phrase (much better), describing her condition or appearance.
Grammatical concept:
-
Linking verbs like look, seem, appear, feel, become are followed by adjectives, not adverbs.
-
“Much better” is a correct comparative adjective phrase that modifies “looks.”
Incorrectness of the concept in context: None — the structure is correct:
Subject (Meenu) + linking verb (looks) + complement (much better).
How to correct: No correction needed.
Correct phrase / correction: Sentence is already correct.
Final sentence:
Meenu looks much better today.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
