This newspaper has a bigger circulation from any other newspaper in our town.

A.

from any other newspaper

B.

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."
