    Question

    Parts of the given sentence have been highlighted. One of them contains an error. The highlighted parts are given as options with some changes. Select the option that correctly rectifies the error.
    This car is lesser expensive than the one I had come to buy.

    A.

    for

    B.

    came

    C.

    ones

    D.

    less

    Correct option is D

    The error lies in the phrase "lesser expensive." The word "lesser" is incorrectly used as a comparative adjective here. The correct form is "less expensive." "Lesser" is typically used when comparing two things in terms of quality or importance, not quantity or degree. Therefore, the correct option is: (d) less. The corrected sentence is: "This car is less expensive than the one I had come to buy."
