    My colleague always works latest than I do.

    A.

    My colleague

    B.

    latest

    C.

    always works

    D.

    than I do.

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    Error explanation:
    · The word "latest" is incorrect because it refers to the most recent thing (e.g., "latest news").
    · The correct word should be "later", which is the comparative form of "late."
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Later (comparative) is used when comparing two entities.
    · Example: She arrived later than I did.
    · Latest (superlative) refers to the most recent.
    · Example: This is the latest version of the software.
    Corrected sentence:
    "My colleague always works later than I do."
