Question

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
The hotel / is not big enormous / to accommodate some more guests.

A.

to accommodate some more guests.

B.

The hotel

C.

No error.

D.

is not big enormous

Correct option is D


✔️ Option (d) is not big enormous contains the error.
Explanation:
This is a case of incorrect adjective pairing. You cannot use two adjectives together like “ big enormous” without a conjunction or modifier in between.
Correct usage:
· “is not big enough”
· or “is not enormous enough”
Grammatical rule used: Two adjectives cannot be used in succession without coordination or separation unless one modifies the other properly.
Hindi explanation: "Big" और "Enormous" दोनों adjectives हैं। इन्हें बिना linking word (जैसे ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘but’) के एक साथ नहीं लिखा जा सकता।
