Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error.
(A) The more efficient the software becomes, / (B) after successive rounds of testing and optimization by / (C) the development team, the most productive the team appears across all departments, / (D) particularly during peak working hours when workflow demands are at their highest.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) C
Concept (Correlative Comparative: The More ..., The More): 'the + Comparative ..., the + Comparative ...' संरचना में दोनों भागों में Comparative Degree आती है। पहले भाग में 'the more efficient' है, इसलिए दूसरे भाग में Superlative 'the most productive' के स्थान पर 'the more productive' आएगा।
✓ Correct sentence: The more efficient the software becomes, ... the more productive the team appears across all departments.
Exam trap: दूसरे भाग में Superlative लिखने की प्रवृत्ति ही वह जाल है।
Concept (Correlative Comparative: The More ..., the More): in the structure 'the + comparative ..., the + comparative ...', both parts take the comparative degree. The first part here is 'the more efficient', so the second part should be 'the more productive', not the superlative 'the most productive'.
✓ Correct sentence: The more efficient the software becomes, ... the more productive the team appears across all departments.
Exam trap: writing the superlative 'the most productive' after 'the' is the trap, since both parts of 'the more ..., the more ...' take comparatives.
