Question:
DIRECTIONS: Some parts of the sentences have errors and rest are correct. Find out which part of a sentence has an error, the corresponding letter of that part is your answer. If a sentence is free from error, then your answer is (d).


This watch is superior to (a)/ and more expensive (b)/ than that one. (c)/ No error (d)

Options:
A) a
B) b
C) c
D) d
Solution:
Ans: (d) No error

Superior (adjective) means better than average or better than other people or things of the same type. It is followed by 'to' here, which is correct.

Eg: (1) For babies, breastfeeding is superior to bottle-feeding.

(2) She thinks she's morally superior to the rest of us.

(3) This cheese is vastly superior to the other.

​'More expansive than' is also correct.
