Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.

The hotels (A) of Patna are more (B) luxurious than (C) Muzaffarpur (D) No Error (E).

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is D D

The comparison is made between the hotels of the two towns(Patna and Muzaffarpur), not between the hotels of Patna and the town of Muzaffarpur. To make this distinction, the phrase "that of" should be used in Part D before the town's name. Hence, Option D is correct as it points out the erratic part. The rest of the options do not, hence, incorrect.
