Correct option is C
Option (c) contains an error.
Error Explanation: The phrase
"was most difficult and dangerous than to ascend it" is grammatically incorrect because when comparing two things, the word
"more" should be used, not
"most".
The correct comparative structure is:
"more + adjective + than" (not "most + adjective + than").
Hence, “was
more difficult and dangerous than to ascend it” is the correct form.
Grammatical rule used:
When comparing two actions or entities, we use the
comparative form of the adjective/adverb and pair it with
‘than’.
· Incorrect: was most difficult than
· Correct: was more difficult than
Example:
· Driving at night is
more dangerous than driving during the day.
