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 student asked me if (1)/ I knew that Kalidas was the greater (2)/ than any other poet. (3)/ No Error (4) Correct Answer 2

The error is in part 2 of the sentence

The comparative degree, ‘greater’ does employ the use of the definite article as it is a comparison between two things. Only the superlative degree uses ‘the’ to signify the superiority.

Hence, the correct sentence is:

‘The student asked me if I knew that Kalidas was greater than any other poet’.
