Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.

When describing someone's age in a comparative manner, the correct adjective is older followed by than. In this case, the comparative form of the adjective big is incorrectly used to describe someone's age as "bigger than 18 years". It should be older than 18 years instead of bigger than 18 years.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: If you are a runner and older than 18 years, you can test your endurance level by running for the Half Marathon.
