Question

Identify the sentence which uses the correct form of the adjective for comparison in the context of the given passage.

• A. Kausani is the more peaceful than any other place in India.
• B. Kausani is more peaceful than no other place in the region.
• C. Kausani is the most peaceful of any other place in the region
• D. Kausani is the most peaceful place in the region.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Kausani is the more peaceful than any other place in India.

Why it’s correct:

• The passage describes Kausani as very tranquil, serene, with “no traffic, no one is in a hurry,” etc. To compare it with all other places in that region, you use the superlative form (“most peaceful”) + “place in the region.”

• Among the options, this sentence expresses that Kausani is the most peaceful among all places there, which matches the passage.

Why the others are incorrect:

• “Kausani is the more peaceful than any other place in India.” – This is incorrect because “more peaceful than” is comparative, but pairing it with “any other place” in this way is awkward and grammatically wrong.

• “Kausani is more peaceful than no other place in the region.” – This is double negative in meaning: “more peaceful than no other” actually suggests there is no other place to which it compares, so it's confusing/wrong.

• “Kausani is the most peaceful of any other place in the region.” – This mixes “most” (superlative) with “of any other place,” which is ungrammatical.
