Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The word farther means more distant in space or time and is not suitable in this context. The correct adjective to use is further, which means additional to what already exists.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The author said during the press conference that there were two further volumes to be published.
