Choose the segment with an error:
The committee found the proposal/ more preferable to the revised draft,/ considering the latter's / extensive supporting data.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) more preferable to the revised draft,
Concept (Preferable Without More) 'preferable' स्वयं तुलना का अर्थ रखता है और इसके बाद 'to' आता है, जैसे 'superior' और 'inferior' के साथ। इसलिए इसके पहले 'more' नहीं लगता।
अतः 'more preferable to' के स्थान पर 'preferable to' आएगा।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: The committee found the proposal preferable to the revised draft, considering the latter's extensive supporting data.
Examiner का trap यह है कि 'more preferable to' को सही मान लिया जाए।
Concept (Preferable Without More) 'preferable' itself carries a comparative meaning and is followed by 'to', as with 'superior' and 'inferior'. So 'more' is not used before it.
Hence 'more preferable to' becomes 'preferable to'.
✓ Correct sentence: The committee found the proposal preferable to the revised draft, considering the latter's extensive supporting data.
Exam trap: accepting 'more preferable to' as correct.
