Question

Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the part that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.
You care for him even more than for myself, he cried bitterly.

A.

No error

B.

he cried bitterly.

C.

even more than for myself,

D.

You care for him

Correct option is C

The reflexive pronoun “myself” is incorrectly used here. Reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, himself, etc.) are used when the subject and object are the same person.
Here, the correct comparison is between “you” caring for him and “me”, so the objective pronoun “me” should be used instead of “myself”.
 Correct sentence: You care for him even more than for me, he cried bitterly.
Grammatical Rule Used:
When making comparisons using “than”, use the correct case of pronouns.
· Use objective case (me, him, her) after “than” if it’s an object.
· Example: She likes him more than me.
Information Booster: Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object refer to the same person — not for comparisons.
