Choose the option that contains an error:
The executive summarized the quarterly report more efficient than the competitors did even though he was not present through the entire event.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) more efficient
Concept (Verb को modify करने वाला Adverb: Efficiently): Verb ('summarized') की विशेषता बताने के लिए Adverb आता है, Adjective नहीं। 'efficient' Adjective है, जबकि यहाँ Adverb 'efficiently' चाहिए, और उसका Comparative (तुलनात्मक) रूप 'more efficiently' होगा।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: The executive summarized the quarterly report more efficiently than the competitors did even though he was not present through the entire event.
Examiner का trap verb की विशेषता बताने के लिए Adjective 'efficient' लिख देना है।
Concept (Adverb Modifying Verb: Efficiently): an adverb, not an adjective, describes how a verb is done. 'Efficient' is an adjective, but here the adverb 'efficiently' is required, and its comparative form is 'more efficiently'.
✓ Correct sentence: The executive summarized the quarterly report more efficiently than the competitors did even though he was not present through the entire event.
Exam trap: writing the adjective 'efficient' to describe the verb 'summarized'.
