Which sentence correctly uses ‘further’ rather than ‘farther’ for a figurative extension of discussion?
AWe need to discussed this further.
BWe need to discuss this further.
CWe need to discuss this far.
DWe need to discuss this farther.
Explanation
In traditional grammar, ‘farther’ is reserved for physical distance, as in ‘She walked farther than he did,’ while ‘further’ is used for figurative extensions, such as additional discussion, time, or degree. Since this sentence refers to continuing a conversation rather than physical distance, ‘further’ is the grammatically correct choice. Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
