    Question

    Read each sentence to find out whether there is any

    error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. Though I am/elder than my brother by five (A)                          (B) / years, he is more/ successful in life than I. (C)                                    (D)
    A Option a Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Option b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Option c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Option d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error in the sentence lies in the use of the word "elder." "Elder" is typically used when comparing the ages of people within the same family. However, when making a general comparison of age, the word "older" is more appropriate. Therefore, the correction involves replacing "elder" with "older" in the sentence to convey the intended meaning accurately.
