Which sentence correctly avoids combining ‘more’ and ‘less’ into an incorrect double comparative?
AThis phone is more expensive less than that one.
BThis phone is the more less expensive one.
CThis phone is more less expensive than that one.
DThis phone is less expensive than that one.
Explanation
‘Less’ already functions as a comparative word on its own, meaning combining it with ‘more,’ as in ‘more less expensive,’ creates a redundant and grammatically incorrect double comparative. The correct sentence simply uses ‘less expensive’ on its own, without adding ‘more’ in front of it. Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
