The sentence is divided into four segments: (A), (B), (C), and (D). Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If the sentence is both grammatically and contextually correct, select “No error” as the correct answer.

This problem is more easier (A)/ than the one (B)/ we solved in (C)/ the last class. (D)

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: (a) A
Sentence:
"This problem is more easier than the one we solved in the last class."
Error Explanation:
Part (A) contains the error: “more easier”
Grammatical Rule:
Avoid double comparatives.
· Comparative adjectives like “easier” already imply a comparison.
· Adding “more” before a comparative adjective is grammatically incorrect because it results in a redundant construction.
Incorrect usage:
· “more easier”
Correct usage:
· “easier”
Why This Is Wrong:
The adjective “easy” becomes “easier” in its comparative form. Using “more” alongside “easier” is incorrect because both forms show comparison, and only one is needed. This is a common error with adjectives that form their comparative by adding “-er.”
Corrected Sentence:
"This problem is easier than the one we solved in the last class."
Sentence Structure Breakdown:
· Subject: This problem
· Linking verb: is
· Comparative adjective: easier
· Comparison object (introduced by “than”): the one we solved in the last class
Example of the Rule in Action:
· Incorrect: She is more smarter than her sister.
· Correct: She is smarter than her sister.
Final Answer:
(a) A — because “more easier” should be corrected to “easier” to avoid the double comparative.
