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'. After her surgery, Sneha (1)/ could not walk much(2) / than a small stretch. (3)/ No error. (4)?

Option 2 : 2

Here, Sneha's ability to walk before and after the surgery is compared.

• So, the usage of 'much' for the above comparison is incorrect as
  • 'much' is an adjective used with uncountable nouns to determine its quantity.
    • e.g: Much of the sugar was wasted due to infestation.
• Sneha's ability to walk before and after the surgery can be compared using a proper comparative degree of an adjective.
  • As such, 'more' is the correct comparative degree to replace 'much' to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

Thus, there is error in part 2 of the sentence.

Correct sentence: After her surgery, Sneha could not walk  much / more than a small stretch.
