Question

In the question parts have been underlined. If any rule of correct English is violated then it could be only in the UNDERLINED part, marked as 1, 2, 3 or 4. Choose the option, which violates usage of correct English
Ganesh is taller than/1 Ramesh but/2   Anoop is/3    more taller/4.

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To identify the incorrect usage in the sentence, let's examine each underlined part:

• Taller than/1: This is a correct comparative form, as "taller than" is used to compare two entities, Ganesh and Ramesh.
• But/2: The conjunction "but" is appropriately used here to contrast two different comparisons.
• Is/3: The verb "is" is good to use after the subject Anoop, indicating a state of being.
• More taller/4: This is incorrect as "taller" is already a comparative adjective, and using "more" is redundant. The correct phrase should be simply "taller."

Thus, the part that violates the correct usage of English grammar is only 4.
