    Question

    Identify the error in the given sentence.
    Camels tend to move slowly than other domestic animals in the plains.

    A.

    domestic animals in the plains.

    B.

    than other

    C.

    move slowly

    D.

    Camels tend to

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains an error.
    · Error Explanation: The phrase "move slowly than" is incorrect. The correct usage should be "move more slowly than" because "slowly" is an adverb, and its comparative form requires "more" (not just "slowly than").
    · Correct sentence: Camels tend to move more slowly than other domestic animals in the plains.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Adverbs of manner (like "slowly") use "more" for comparison instead of "-er" as in adjectives.
    · Example:
    · Incorrect: She runs faster than me. (Correct because "fast" is an adjective)
    · Incorrect: He speaks slower than his brother.
    · Correct: He speaks more slowly than his brother.
