Choose the segment with an error:
The symposium featured a / more innovative, a less controversial,/ and the more anticipated /keynote address than previous years.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) and the more anticipated
Concept (Parallel Structure in a Comparative List) Comparative adjectives (तुलनात्मक विशेषण) की list में सभी items के articles और degree का रूप समान होना चाहिए। यहाँ 'a more innovative, a less controversial' के बाद 'and the more anticipated' में 'the' अचानक आ गया है, जिससे संरचना बिगड़ जाती है।
शुद्ध रूप 'and a more anticipated' (या केवल 'and more anticipated') होगा, ताकि तीनों adjectives एक समान रहें।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: The symposium featured a more innovative, a less controversial, and a more anticipated keynote address than previous years.
Examiner का trap यह है कि 'and the more anticipated' में 'the' अनावश्यक रूप से जोड़ दिया जाए।
Concept (Parallel Structure in a Comparative List) In a list of comparative adjectives, the articles and the degree form must be the same in every item. Here 'a more innovative, a less controversial' is followed by 'and the more anticipated', where 'the' appears suddenly and breaks the structure.
Correct form: 'and a more anticipated' (or 'and more anticipated'), so that all three adjectives stay alike.
✓ Correct sentence: The symposium featured a more innovative, a less controversial, and a more anticipated keynote address than previous years.
Exam trap: adding 'the' suddenly in 'and the more anticipated'.
