Total: 100

The people in/ my office are/ smarter than other offices./ No error
smarter than other offices
my office are
No error
The people in
Validate
Solution:
The correct answer is
option 1)
i.e. The part of the sentence
'smarter than other offices'
is flawed.
According to the rule of Degree of comparison,
the comparison between two or more than two persons or things should be equal.
For example
, A person should be compared with a person, a characteristic should be compared with a characteristic and so on and so forth.
This particular rule will be followed when comparison takes place.
In the sentence given here, 'The people' are being compared with 'other offices' not with 'the people of other offices'.
Due to the rule of equal comparison, the sentence goes incorrect.
The third part of the sentence carries a mistake.
Thus and so, the correct sentence should be:
The people in my office are smarter than the people in other offices.
