Correct option is C
Option (c) contains an error.
Explanation:
The superlative
“eldest” is used
within a family. But the error here is
contextual and grammatical – when comparing only
two, we use
comparative degree, not superlative.
Correct form: “is the
elder.”
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Use
“elder” (or “older”) when comparing two persons.
·
“Eldest” is only used for three or more.
Example:
Incorrect – She is the eldest of the two sisters.
Correct – She is the elder of the two sisters.
Information Booster:
· “Elder” and “eldest” are used only for people (not objects), usually within families.
