Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The alphabet corresponding to that part is your answer. If the sentence is grammatically and contextually correct, then choose option ‘No error’ as your answer. Ignore errors of punctuation, if any. All attempts of Suresh (A) / are daring (B) / but this one is certainly (C) / the more daring. (D) / No Error (E)

1. A
2. B
3. C
4. D

Correct answer: D

Solution

The phrase ‘the more daring’ is incorrect here because the sentence refers to one attempt being compared with all others, so ‘the most daring’ is needed. Hence the error is in part D.
