Correct option is D
Option (d) contains an error.
· Incorrect phrase:
“is a tallest”
·
"Tallest" is a
superlative adjective, so it should not be preceded by the
indefinite article ‘a’. Instead, it should be used with a definite article or without one, depending on structure.
· Correct usage:
"is the tallest"
· Corrected sentence:
"Rakesh, a fourth-class student, is the tallest of all the students in the school."
Grammatical rule used:
Superlative adjectives are preceded by “the,” not “a.”
Example: She is
the best player in the team, not
a best player.
Information Booster:
Superlatives describe the highest degree and are usually followed by “of all/in the group,” hence always used with “the.”
