    Question

    In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains a grammatical error.
    Doctors say that home isolation is far more effective than hospitalise in cases of mild infection.

    A.

    far more effective

    B.

    than hospitalise

    C.

    isolation is

    D.

    Doctors say that

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    Error: "than hospitalise" is incorrect as "hospitalise" is a verb.
    Correct usage: It should be "than hospitalisation" (noun form) to maintain parallel structure with "home isolation" (noun).
    Grammatical Rule Used: When comparing two nouns, both elements must be in the same grammatical form.
    Example: Meditation is more effective than medication.
    Information Booster: Gerunds (-ing forms used as nouns) and nominal forms are often required in parallel structures.
