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'. The class teacher said (1)/ that Shalini is best than (2)/ any other girl in the class. (3)/ No Error. (4) Correct Answer 2

The error is in the second part of the sentence.

This is because the word 'than' comes after a comparative adjective. The comparative adjective of 'good' is 'better' and not 'best', which is a superlative adjective.

As Shalini is compared with every other girl in the class, a comparative degree of the word 'good' will be used here.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: 

The class teacher said that Shalini is better than any other girl in class.
