Question

Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The data which she presented was the most latest one on the matter under discussion.

A.

which she presented

B.

was the most latest one

C.

on the matter

D.

under discussion

Correct option is B


The segment of the sentence that contains a grammatical error is option (b) was the most latest one.
Explanation:
· The phrase "most latest" is incorrect because "latest" is already a superlative form and does not require "most" as an intensifier. The correct phrase should be "the latest one."
· Corrected Sentence:
"The data which she presented was the latest one on the matter under discussion."
Grammatical Rule Involved:
· Superlative Adjectives: Superlative adjectives, like "latest," "best," and "tallest," are used to describe the highest degree of a quality and do not need additional words like "most" or "more." The word "most" is used to form the superlative of adjectives that do not already have a specific superlative form (e.g., "most interesting").
Example for Clarity:
· Correct: "This is the latest report."
· Incorrect: "This is the most latest report."
