Question

Select the alternative that will improve the highlighted part of the sentence in case there is no improvement select “No improvement”.
Kalidasa was a greater classical Sanskrit poet of India.

A.

No improvement

B.

was a great classical

C.

was the greater classic

D.

was a greatest classical

Correct option is B

The correct improvement for the highlighted part of the sentence "Kalidasa was a greater classical Sanskrit poet of India" is "was a great classical".
· The comparative form "greater" is inappropriate here unless Kalidasa is being compared to another specific poet in the same context, which the sentence does not imply.
· The correct form, "was a great classical," properly identifies Kalidasa as a distinguished poet without implying a comparison.
· Example: Shakespeare was a great playwright and poet of the English language, similarly highlighting a notable figure without comparison.
· Other options:
· (a) No improvement and (c) was the greater classic maintain the incorrect comparative form.
· (d) was a greatest classical uses a superlative incorrectly and lacks the necessary article "the" before a superlative adjective.
