After reading the passage, we can say that the grammatical mistake present in it is the following:

(P) Superlative form of the adjective.

<h3>When should we use the superlative?</h3>
  • The superlative form of an adjective is used to indicate that someone or someone possesses a certain quality in an incomparable way. There is no competition - no other person or thing in that group that can beat that person or thing.
  • For example, imagine a group of three people. John is taller than James, but James is taller than Eric. We can immediately tell that John is also taller than Eric. Thus, in that group of people, <u>John is the tallest.</u> There is no competition - no one in that group is taller than he is.

<h3>Why is the superlative wrong in the question?</h3>
  • The problem here is that "largest" is a superlative, but we are only comparing two types of kayaks. The sentence is not affirming that a certain kayak is the largest of all in a group, only that it is larger than another one.
  • In this case, the use of the comparative form "larger" sounds much better than the use of the superlative. When comparing two people or two objects, we should to go for the comparative form.

Near the garden was a tiny brown rabbit. Which best identifies the type of sentence a.compound b.simple c.compound-complex d.com
olga2289 [7]
The answer I think is either a compound sentence or a simple sentence

compound sentence = a sentence with more than one subject or predicate.

simple sentence=
a sentence consisting of only one clause, with a single subject and predicate.


I can also give you the definition of clause and subject or predicate Hope this helps ;)
