The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
She is / the very ambitious woman / I have ever / come across.

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.
The error lies in the use of the phrase “the very ambitious woman”.
The correct form should be “the most ambitious woman” because “ever” is used to refer to a superlative degree.
“Very ambitious” is not a superlative form.
�� Grammatical rule used:
When using “ever” in such sentences, it must be paired with a superlative adjective (e.g., most beautiful, most difficult). "Very" is used with positive degree, not superlative.
�� Correct Sentence:
“She is the most ambitious woman I have ever come across.”
�� Example:
✘ Incorrect: He is the very smart boy I have ever met.
✔ Correct: He is the smartest boy I have ever met.
