Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The more harder / you work, / the better / it will be.
Option 1: The more harder
Option 2: you work
Option 3: it will be
Option 4: the better
Correct Answer: The more harder
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
Explanation:
The error lies in using both more and harder together, which creates redundancy. Harder already signifies a comparative degree, so adding more before it is unnecessary. The correction involves removing more because harder already conveys the comparative degree.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be, "The harder you work, the better it will be".
