Question

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.

Tushar is junior than all his colleagues.

A.

junior than all

B.

is

C.

Tushar

D.

his colleagues

Correct option is A

The error is in the segment "junior than all." When using comparative adjectives like "junior," "senior," "superior," "inferior," etc., the correct preposition to use is "to," not "than."
· Junior to: This is the correct phrase because "junior" is a comparative adjective that takes "to" rather than "than."
· Than: Used for other comparatives such as "bigger than," "smarter than," etc., but not with "junior."
· Correct sentence: Tushar is junior to all his colleagues.
