Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
Gourav was no good than a foolish person.

Correct option is A

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is no better, which is grammatically appropriate for comparing one person to another in terms of a negative quality.
Explanation: The phrase "no good than" is incorrect because "good" is not used for comparisons in such a context. "Better" is the correct comparative form.
Grammatical Rule Used: When comparing two entities, the comparative degree (better, worse, taller, etc.) must be used.
Example: This phone is no better than the one I already own.
Important Points about the Comparative Degree of Adjectives
1. Definition:
· The comparative degree is used to compare two people, things, or groups.
2. Formation Rules:
· Short adjectives: Add -er (e.g., tall → taller).
· Long adjectives: Use "more" or "less" before the adjective (e.g., beautiful → more beautiful).
· Irregular adjectives: Change form completely (e.g., good → better, bad → worse).
3. Use of "Than":
· Always pair the comparative degree with "than" to show comparison.
· Example: She is smarter than her friend.
4. Avoid Double Comparatives:
· Do not use "more" or "most" with -er adjectives.
· Incorrect: More taller
· Correct: Taller
5. Quantities:
· Use fewer for countable nouns (e.g., fewer books).
· Use less for uncountable nouns (e.g., less water).
