The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

To identify the incorrect usage in the sentence, let's examine each underlined part:

  • Taller than/1: This is a correct comparative form, as "taller than" is used to compare two entities, Ganesh and Ramesh.
  • But/2: The conjunction "but" is appropriately used here to contrast two different comparisons.
  • Is/3: The verb "is" is good to use after the subject Anoop, indicating a state of being.
  • More taller/4: This is incorrect as "taller" is already a comparative adjective, and using "more" is redundant. The correct phrase should be simply "taller."

Thus, the part that violates the correct usage of English grammar is only 4.
