Question

Identify the part of a sentence which has a grammatical error:

[A] Sunita is more talkative than
[B] anybody in the class because
[C] she is not afraid of the teacher
[D] who is her own brother

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Answer 1

The correct option is B B

Here, 'anybody' in part B should be replaced with 'everybody'. While anybody refers to 'any one' in a group, everybody refers to 'every one', every person in a group. In the context of the given sentence, everybody is more appropriate because there is comparison going on between Sunita and every one else in the class. Thus, part B of the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
