Error in Making Comparisons

There are three degrees of comparisons, namely (a) Positive (b) Comparative (c) Superlative. When we talk about one
person or one thing or one institution we only use positive degree.
For example :
1. He is a rich man.
2. He is a poor man.

4
When we compare two persons, things or institutions, we use comparative degree.
For Example :
1. You are stronger than your brother.
2. Mrs. Gandhi was more shrewd(PvjvK) than Mr. Morarji Desai.
When we compare something with more than two, we use superlative degree.
For example :
1. He is the most intelligent boy in the class.
2. John is the fastest runner.
Following are the mistakes committed in making comparisions :

Rule #10: Comparatives

Use Comparative degree for two. Using superlative degree to compare 2 things is an error.
1. Incorrect : He is poorest of the two.
Correct : He is the poorer of the two.
2. Incorrect : He is most prosperous of the twins.
Correct : He is more prosperous of the twins.

(D) John maintained that his record was better or at least as good as her scholastic record.

1. Incorrect : The speed of this engine is greater than the old one.
Correct : The speed of this engine is greater than that of the old one.
2. Incorrect : My pen is better than Ram.
Correct : My pen is better than that of Ram.
Solution : In the case of the first example, the speed of the engine must be compared with speed and not with engine.
In the second example, pen must be compared with the pen and not with Ram.

Rule #13: Comparatives-4
Absolute Adjectives: There are certain adjectives like square, parallel, essential etc. which cannot be changed into
comparative or superlative degrees.
Example -17 :
1. Incorrect : These two lines are more parallel than the others.

5
 Correct : These two lines are parallel and the others are not
2. Incorrect : The box is more square than the other.

Rule #14: Redundancies
Words and expressions which do not contribute to the total meaning of the sentence are called redundant words. Such words
make the sentence absurd and incorrect.

Example -18 :
Period of time : As ‘period’ gives the idea of time so the use of 'time' with them is redundant.
Incorrect : We stayed for a short period of time in the hotel.
Correct : We stayed for a short period in the hotel.

Refer back to : The word refer implies 'back' so it should not be used with refer.
Example:
Incorrect : Please refer back to page 20.
Correct : Please refer to page 20.
Repeat again : 'Repeat' means to 'do again' so the word again is redundant with 'repeat'.
Example :
Incorrect : Do not repeat this mistake again.
Correct : Do not repeat this mistake.

Return back : The word 'return' means 'turn back'. So 'back' should not be used with 'return'.
Incorrect : He returned back from his trip.
Correct : He returned from his trip.

Example - 19 : After being in school for sixteen years, Jack couldn't wait to get out to get a job.
(A) Jack couldn’t wait to get out to get a job

Rule #17: Pronoun Usage
"A pronoun in a sentence must have a clear and proper antecedent."

Example -26: Samantha and Jane went shopping, but she couldn't find anything she liked

It is supposed to be absolutely clear who is being referred to by the pronoun. In the example above the pronoun “she” could
refer to either Samantha or Jane. The pronoun is ambiguous (A¨vg&wewMDA¨vm& - AwbwðZ; ب_©K) and must be corrected.
You can do this in three different ways.
Samantha and Jane went shopping, but Samantha couldn't find anything she liked.
Samantha and Jane went shopping, but Jane couldn't find anything she liked.
Samantha and Jane went shopping, but they couldn't find anything they liked.

Explanation: This sentence is an example of a run-on sentence, sentence, that is, a sentence which contains two
independent clauses that are not properly joined together. The portion of this sentence before the comma is an independent
clause, and the portion of the sentence after the comma is also an independent clause. A comma by itself is not sufficient to
separate two independent clauses; rather, a coordinating conjunction like and, but, yet, for, or, or nor must be used between
the comma and the second independent clause. Only choice (C) provides such a conjunction at the beginning of the second
clause. Since ``they came to realize’’ has virtually the same meaning as ``it occurred to them’’ choice (C) is the correct
answer. The main consideration here is that choices (A), (B), (D), and (E) are run-on sentences.

Rule #28: Gerund

Example-45: ÔÔReading is his favorite pastime.’’

Reading is used here as the subject of a verb and hence does the work of a noun. It is therefore a verb-noun and is called a
gerund. Further examples of gerund:
1. Hunting tigers is a favorite sport in this country.
2. I like reading poetry.
3. He is fond of hoarding (Rgv Kiv) money.

A gerund is that form of the verb which ends in-ing, and has the force of a noun and a verb. A_©vr,- ing hy³ †h verb noun wn‡m‡e KvR
