    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    We've got to have / beefed-up intelligence, / including much strong / human intelligence than before.

    A.

    We've got to have

    B.

    human intelligence

    C.

    including much strong

    D.

    beefed-up intelligence

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains an error.
    Error Explanation: The phrase “much strong” is grammatically incorrect because the word “strong” is a gradable adjective and should be preceded by “much stronger” when used in comparison.
    · The correct comparative structure is “much + comparative adjective”, so it should be “much stronger”.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · When comparing degrees of adjectives, we use comparative forms such as “stronger,” “better,” etc.
    · “Much” can modify a comparative adjective (e.g., much better, much stronger).
    Correct sentence: including much stronger human intelligence than before.
    Example:
    · This laptop is much faster than my old one.
