Question

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
The tea at this café is best than at the Costa Café in our office.

A.

at the Costa Café

B.

The tea at this café

C.

is best than

D.

in our office

Correct option is C

Option "is best than" contains an error.
Correct Sentence: "The tea at this café is better than at the Costa Café in our office."
Explanation:
· The word "best" is a superlative form and is used to compare more than two things. However, this sentence compares only two cafés, so the comparative form "better" is appropriate.
· Grammatical rule: Use "better" (comparative degree) to compare two items and "best" (superlative degree) for more than two.
Example:
· Incorrect: This car is best than that one.
· Correct: This car is better than that one.
