Question

Identify the segment in the sentence, which contains the grammatical error.
Nikhil is more braver than Sushant who is afraid of the dark.

A.

more braver than

B.

Nikhil is

C.

who is afraid

D.

of the dark

Correct option is A

The segment "more braver than" contains the grammatical error.
· The correct form should be "braver than," as "braver" is the comparative form of "brave" and does not require the additional comparative "more" which results in redundancy.
· Grammatical rule: Comparative adjectives in English often receive either "more" or the "-er" suffix, but not both.
· Example: He is braver than his brother, correctly using the comparative form without redundancy.
