Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
Ashoka was the greatest than all the Mauryan Emperors.

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted segment is "of the Mauryan Emperors."
Explanation:
· The word "greatest" is in superlative degree, and superlative adjectives are followed by "of" when comparing a group.
· Correct sentence: "Ashoka was the greatest of the Mauryan Emperors."
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Superlative adjectives (e.g., best, tallest, greatest) should be followed by "of" when referring to a group.
· Example:
· Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest of all cricketers. (✔ Correct)
· Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest than all cricketers. (❌ Incorrect)
Incorrect Options Explanation:
· (a) "all Mauryan Emperors" → Incorrect as it lacks a preposition before "all."
· (c) "to all another Mauryan Emperors" → Incorrect as "another" is singular and "to" is incorrect.
· (d) "to other Mauryan Emperors" → Incorrect as "to" does not fit the structure.
Thus, option (b) is the correct answer. ✅
