    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
    Mahira is an more efficient and hardworking employee of her company.

    A.

    Mahira is the efficient

    B.

    Mahira is an efficient

    C.

    Mahira is the more efficient

    D.

    No substitution required

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is "Mahira is an efficient".
    · The article "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. However, "more" does not need an article before it.
    · The correct sentence should be: "Mahira is an efficient and hardworking employee of her company."
    · Grammatical Rule Used: "An" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound (e.g., "an apple," "an honest man").
    · "More" is used for comparisons, and it should be accompanied by "the" if comparing two things.
    Example:
    ❌ Incorrect: She is an more talented dancer than him.
    ✅ Correct: She is a more talented dancer than him.
