Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the segment in the given sentence:"Edward II is tragic than some other plays by the dramatist."

Quintessence Classes · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is less tragic than. Explanation:The presence of the word "than" indicates that a comparison is being made between "Edward II" and "some other plays."Therefore, the adjective must be in its comparative form. Since "tragic" is a multi-syllable word, its comparative forms are "more tragic" or "less tragic".The original segment ("tragic than") is grammatically incorrect because it uses the base/positive form of the adjective instead of the comparative form.Corrected sentence: "Edward II is less tragic than some other plays by the dramatist."
