Question 1 / 100

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If no substitution is required, select 'No improvement'.

The big farmers with deepest tubewells still have water, but many others face a water crisis.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. with deeper tube wells.

Concept/Grammar rules

Application

In the sentence, comparative degree of ‘deep’ must be used. 

Deepest is the wrong usage as superlative degree always has singular subject.

Hence, ‘deepest’ must be replaced with ‘deeper’.

Hence, option 2 is correct.
