The athlete ran / few impressively / than anyone else / in the race.

A.

few impressively

B.

in the race.

C.

The athlete ran

D.

than anyone else

Correct option is A


✔️ Option (a) few impressively contains the error.
· Explanation:
· The phrase should be "less impressively" instead of "few impressively".
· "Few" is used with countable nouns (e.g., few apples), while "less" is used with uncountable nouns or in comparative expressions for degree/adverbs like "impressively".
· Grammatical rule used:
· Use "less" for uncountable quantities or comparative degrees of adverbs.
· Hindi Explanation: "Few" का प्रयोग गिनती वाली संज्ञाओं के लिए होता है जबकि "less" का प्रयोग गुणात्मक तुलना के लिए जैसे "less impressively".
· Meanings of other options:
· (b) in the race – सही प्रीपोजिशनल फ्रेज; कोई त्रुटि नहीं
· (c) The athlete ran – सही subject + verb structure
· (d) than anyone else – comparative clause के लिए उपयुक्त structure
