In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'.  Ann received the promotion instead of Susan (A) / as Ann is senior than Susan in age (B)/ though Susan had started working there before Ann's joining.(C)/ No error(D)  Correct Answer B

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. B.

  • In part B, there is an error in the use of the preposition 'than'.
  • The words 'senior', 'junior' and 'elder', are always followed by the preposition 'to'. The preposition 'than' is always followed by words such as 'older' and 'younger'.
  • Clearly, we need to replace 'than' with 'to'.


Correct sentence- Ann received the promotion instead of Susan as Ann is senior to Susan in age though Susan had started working there before Ann's joining.
