    In the following question, a sentence is given, divided

    into 5 parts. Part (E) is grammatically correct. Out of the other four parts, only one part is without error. Mark the option containing the part with no error. If none of the parts have errors, mark 'No error' as your answer. If all the parts have errors, marks 'All have errors' as your answer. The little child made brags (A)/ when his burger arrived (B)/ because it was cheesiest (C)/ then his sibling's smaller one (D)/, making the older brother burst into tears. (E) Ā Ā Ā  Ā 
    A C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All have error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A - replace MADE BRAGS with BRAGGED, since the former is a grammatically incorrect phrase. B - No error. C - replace CHEESIEST with CHEESIER. The former is the superlative degree, which requires the definite article THE before it, while the latter is a comparative degree. The comparative degree is correct in the context since two different kinds of burgers are being compared. D - replace THEN with THAN. THEN indicates a time period after some event or incident, or a continuation from something in a narrative. THAN indicates a comparative degree, which is required in the context of the sentence. (d) is the right answer.
