The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error.
The athlete ran / few impressively / than anyone else / in the race.

Correct option is A

The error is in "few impressively", which should be "less impressively."
Explanation:
· "Few" is used for countable nouns, while "less" is used for uncountable or degree-based comparisons.
· "Impressively" is an adverb (modifying "ran"), so the correct comparative should be "less impressively."
· Correct sentence: The athlete ran less impressively than anyone else in the race.
Grammatical Rule:
· Use "less" for adjectives/adverbs in comparative forms when discussing degree or intensity rather than countable objects.
Incorrect Options:
· (b) in the race. (No error.)
· (c) than anyone else. (No error; correct comparative structure.)
· (d) The athlete ran. (No error.)
Example:
· She performed less impressively in the final round than in the semifinals.
