Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".
Shelley is (1) / superior than Byron (2) / in his vision of democracy. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The use of the preposition "than" after "superior" is incorrect. To express comparison, we use "superior to" as superior is followed by the preposition to and not than .
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Shelley is superior to Byron in his vision of democracy.
