Question

Parts of the given sentence have been underlined and given as options. One of them contains a grammatical error. Select the option that has the error. \(\underline{Since\ the\ car\ is\ new,}\ \underline{it\ isn’t}\ \underline{as\ sturdy\ as}\ \underline{my\ old\ car.}\)

• A. Since the car is new
• B. it isn’t
• C. as sturdy as
• D. my old car

Hint:

When making comparisons with "as" and "sturdy," ensure the verb follows the correct structure for comparisons.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The error lies in the phrase "it isn’t." The correct sentence should be "Since the car is new, it isn’t as sturdy as my old car." The issue is that the verb phrase "isn't" should not be used with "as" in this context. The correct construction is: "it is not as sturdy as."
