Question

In the following sentence, the highlighted part contains an error. Select the correct alternative.
The house seemed much far than she expected.

A.

farther

B.

farer

C.

more far

D.

farthest

Correct option is A

The correct substitution for "much far" is "farther", which is the comparative form of "far" used to indicate greater distance. (Hindi meaning: अधिक दूर).
Example: The railway station is farther from my house than the bus stop.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· "Farther" is used when referring to physical distance.
· "Further" is used for figurative or abstract distances (e.g., further discussion).
· "Farer" is incorrect because "far" does not take an "-er" form.
· "More far" is incorrect as "far" already has a comparative form, "farther."
· "Farthest" is the superlative form, while the sentence requires a comparative form.
Thus, "farther" is the correct answer.
