Question

In the following sentence the underlined part contains an error. Alternatives to the underlined part are given as options. Select the correct alternative. The new almirah is big than this one.

• A. bigger
• B. more big
• C. biggest
• D. more bigger

Answer 1

Answer:

A. bigger

• Why "bigger" is the correct answer: Comparative Degree: The sentence is comparing two specific things: "The new almirah" and "this one." When comparing two items, we must use the Comparative Degree. The "than" Clue: The word "than" is a key indicator that a comparison is being made, requiring a comparative adjective. One-Syllable Rule: For short adjectives with one syllable (like big), we usually form the comparative by adding the suffix "-er". Positive: Big Comparative: Bigger (Note the doubling of the 'g') Superlative: Biggest
