Question

Read the sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part.
(a) It is an established fact that the transcendental American poets and philosophers, (b) who lived in the latter half of the nineteenth century, (c) were more influenced by Indian philosophy.

• A. (a)
• B. (b)
• C. (c)
• D. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is C (c)

Here, the usage of "more" is incorrect: 'more' must be used when there is an element of comparison. There is no comparison here so 'more' must be replaced with 'much'. Therefore the answer is option C.
