Question

In the following sentence, identify the incorrect part, if there is no error choose option E.

In (A) swimming as to (B) soccer, Evangelina proved time after time to be an abler (C) competitor than (D) Juanita. No error (E)

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

B

The error is in (B). 'In' should be used in place of 'as to' to convey the meaning that what happens in 'swimming' happens in 'soccer' too.

'In' is rightly used to create a correct idiom.

'An abler' is the comparative form of the adjective which is correctly used.

'Than' is correctly used to compare the ability of two persons.

Thus, option B is the correct choice.
