The sentence given below has an error in it. Identify the part which has the error. (i) The widely published manifesto, (ii) of the new party, (iii) is not much different than ours, (iv) no error.
A
(ii)
B
(iv)
C
(i)
D
(iii)
Correct Option:
D
Explanation
The exam expects the phrase "different from ours", not "different than ours." Thus, "is not much different than ours" is the part containing the error. In formal competitive-exam grammar, different from is generally preferred. Some modern varieties of English do accept "different than," but the conventional examination answer is Part (iii).
