Question : Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No Error'.
Even the most wise don't / know what's hidden in / the depths of their being.
Option 1: No Error
Option 2: know what's hidden in
Option 3: the depths of their being.
Option 4: Even the most wise don't
Correct Answer: Even the most wise don't
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation:
The error is in the use of wise. The correct form should be wisest instead of wise. The word wise is an adjective used to describe someone's level of wisdom. When comparing different levels of wisdom, the superlative form is wisest.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Even the wisest don't know what's hidden in the depths of their being.
