    Question

    Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    This newspaper has a bigger circulation from any other newspaper in our town.

    A.

    from any other newspaper

    B.

    in our town

    C.

    This newspaper has

    D.

    a bigger circulation

    Correct option is A


    The segment of the sentence that contains a grammatical error is option (a) from any other newspaper.
    Explanation:
    · The correct phrase should be "than any other newspaper," not "from any other newspaper." The word "than" is used to make comparisons, while "from" is incorrect in this context.
    · Corrected Sentence:
    "This newspaper has a bigger circulation than any other newspaper in our town."
    Grammatical Rule Involved:
    · Comparative Adjectives: When using comparative adjectives like "bigger," "taller," or "smarter," the correct conjunction to use for comparison is "than."
    · Correct Example: "She is taller than her brother."
    · Incorrect Example: "She is taller from her brother."
