Option 4 : it is the second large

The erroneous segment is " it is the second large"

  • In the given sentence,  we need to use the superlative form of the adjective in the erroneous segment.
  • We use a superlative adjective in comparison to represent something as extreme or of the highest degree.
  • Superlative adjectives are used when comparing three or more things.
    • Example: The cheetah is the fastest animal in the cat family.
  • In the given sentence, we need to use the superlative form of large i.e largest since we are talking about planets.

The correct sentence is:  Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and it is the second largest in our solar system.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
