Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The corresponding letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, then choose option ‘No error’ as the answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

I never argue (A)/ with my landlord (B)/ as he is very older (C)/ than me. (D)

Correct option is C

The error lies in part (C). Here ‘very’ should be replaced with ‘much’. Much is used with comparative adjectives and adverbs: much older, much faster. We can use much before comparative adjectives and adverbs to make a stronger comparison. We use ‘very’ before a positive degree and ‘much’ before comparative degree.
