Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the sentence.

No other man in the city is [as rich than he] is.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (C) as rich as he

यहाँ धनात्मक तुलना as … as चाहिए। As rich than में दो जोड़ियाँ मिल गई हैं; more richer दोहरा तुलनात्मक है; so much rich as प्रयुक्त नहीं होता। सही ढाँचा as rich as he is है।
✓
No other man in the city is as rich as he is.
सरल अर्थ: शहर में उसके जितना अमीर कोई दूसरा आदमी नहीं है।
The sentence needs the positive comparison as … as. As rich than mixes two partners; more richer is a double comparative; so much rich as is not used. The correct frame is as rich as he is.
✓
No other man in the city is as rich as he is.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'so much rich as he' नकारात्मक तुलना के 'not so … as' की याद दिलाता है। परंतु 'so much rich' अंग्रेज़ी का रूप नहीं है; शुद्ध संरचना 'as rich as he is' है।'so much rich as he' recalls 'not so … as' in negative comparisons. But 'so much rich' is not an English form; the correct frame is 'as rich as he is'.
B'as rich than he' बोलचाल के निकट सुनाई देता है, इसलिए 'No substitution' आकर्षक प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'as rich' का युग्म 'as' से है, 'than' से नहीं; 'as rich as he is' चाहिए।'as rich than he' sounds close to normal speech, so 'No substitution' tempts. But 'as rich' pairs with 'as', not 'than'; it must be 'as rich as he is'.
D'more richer than he' से तुलना और सशक्त प्रतीत हुई। परंतु 'more' और '-er' साथ मिलकर दोहरा comparative बनाते हैं; और 'No other …' के साथ positive 'as rich as' चाहिए।'more richer than he' seemed to make the comparison stronger. But 'more' and '-er' together form a double comparative; and 'No other …' needs the positive 'as rich as'.
