    Identify the error in the sentence. This book is more better than that one.
    Question

    Identify the error in the sentence.
    This book is more better than that one.

    A.

    more

    B.

    book

    C.

    better

    D.

    one

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) more contains an error.
    Detailed explanation: “better” is already the comparative form of “good.” Using “more better” creates a double comparative, which is grammatically incorrect. The correct sentence is: “This book is better than that one.”
    Grammatical rule used: Use only one comparative marker. Short adjectives typically take -er (e.g., taller), longer adjectives use more (e.g., more beautiful). Irregular forms like good → better, bad → worse never take “more/most” with their comparative/superlative.
    Example:
    · Incorrect: She is more taller than him.
    · Correct: She is taller than him.
    · Information booster / exceptions: Avoid pleonastic comparatives such as more superior, more preferable, most unique. Words like unique, perfect, complete are absolute and generally don’t take comparatives/superlatives.
