The research committee found /the revised proposal considerably /more superior to the /earlier submission in every respect.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) more superior to the
Concept (Double Comparative: More Superior): 'superior' अपने-आप में Comparative Degree का Adjective है, जिसके साथ 'than' नहीं, बल्कि 'to' आता है। इसके पहले 'more' जोड़ने से Double Comparative बन जाता है, जो अशुद्ध है।
अतः 'more superior to the' के स्थान पर 'superior to the' का प्रयोग होगा।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: The research committee found the revised proposal considerably superior to the earlier submission in every respect.
Examiner का trap यह है कि 'considerably' के बाद आए 'more' को उचित मान लिया जाए, जबकि 'superior' में ही तुलना का भाव निहित है।
Concept (Double Comparative: More Superior): 'superior' is itself a comparative degree adjective, and it takes 'to', not 'than'. So placing 'more' before it creates a double comparative, which is incorrect.
Hence 'more superior to the' must become 'superior to the'.
✓ Correct sentence: The research committee found the revised proposal considerably superior to the earlier submission in every respect.
Exam trap: accepting 'more' after 'considerably' as correct, because 'superior' is itself a comparative word.
