Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Mr. Bansal is the more methodical person in our office staff.

Correct option is B

The segment of the sentence that contains a grammatical error is option (b) the more
Explanation:
· The correct phrase should be "the most methodical person" because "Mr. Bansal" is being compared to all other members of the office staff, implying a superlative degree rather than a comparative one.
· Corrected Sentence:
"Mr. Bansal is the most methodical person in our office staff."
Grammatical Rule Involved:
· Comparative vs. Superlative Adjectives:
· Use "more" for comparing two things or people (comparative degree).
· Use "most" when comparing more than two things or people, indicating the highest degree (superlative degree).
Example for Clarity:
· Correct: "She is the most diligent student in the class."
· Incorrect: "She is the more diligent student in the class." (unless comparing only two students).
