[He is superior than] his contemporaries in the field of theoretical physics and quantum mechanics due to his innovative research.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'He is more superior to' में 'more' जोड़ा गया। परंतु 'superior' स्वयं comparative है।'He is more superior to' fixes 'than' but adds 'more' for comparison. But 'superior' is already comparative in meaning, so 'more' is wrong.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'He is most superior than' उच्चतम degree जैसा लगा। परंतु 'superior to' आता है।'He is most superior than' goes for the strongest degree. But 'superior' needs no 'most', and it takes 'to', not 'than'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'He is superior from' भेद जैसा लगा। परंतु 'superior' के साथ 'to' आता है।'He is superior from' sounds like a difference from others. But 'superior' is followed by 'to', not 'from'.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) He is superior to
कुछ विशेषण लैटिन Comparative से आए हैं (senior, junior, superior, inferior, prior, preferable)। वे अर्थ में पहले से Comparative हैं, इसलिए to लेते हैं, than कभी नहीं, और more भी नहीं।
✓
He is superior to his contemporaries in the field of theoretical physics and quantum mechanics due to his innovative research.
Some adjectives come from Latin comparatives (senior, junior, superior, inferior, prior, preferable). They are already comparative in meaning, so they take to, never than, and never more.
✓
He is superior to his contemporaries in the field of theoretical physics and quantum mechanics due to his innovative research.
