In the following question, a sentence/a part of sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is required, choose "No Improvement" option. From all accounts she is the best and honest student of the class. Correct Answer she is the best and most honest student of the class.
The correct answer is option 1, i.e., she is the best and most honest student of the class.
- The sentence uses the incorrect superlative form of adjective 'honest'.
- Since the other adjective is 'best', which is the superlative degree of the adjective 'good', 'honest' should also follow the same rule.
- The degrees of adjective Honest: Honest, more honest, most honest.
- So, the correct form of the adjective here becomes 'most honest'.
Thus, the rectified sentence is: From all accounts she is the best and most honest student of the class.
