Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Check the degree of comparison used, since the sentence compares only two items, not three or more.
- Option 1: "Of the two cars" correctly sets up a comparison between exactly two items.
- Option 2: "That my friend has" is a correct relative clause with no grammar issue.
- Option 3: "The new Ford is without any question" is grammatically correct.
- Option 4: "The cheapest to run" is wrong because with only two items being compared, English requires the comparative form "cheaper", not the superlative "cheapest". This part has the error.
The correct choice is option 4, since "cheapest" should be "cheaper" when comparing two cars.
