Which of the following sentences are grammatically correct?
(A) Macbeth is the better drama in English.
(B) Othello is the best than any other drama in English.
(C) No other drama in English is as good as Hamlet.
(D) Macbeth is as wise as Othello.
Choose the correct option from the following.
Solution
(C) correctly uses the positive comparison 'No other drama is as good as Hamlet'. (D) correctly uses 'as wise as' to compare two items. (A) wrongly uses the comparative 'better' with 'the' where the superlative 'best' is needed, and (B) wrongly combines the superlative 'best' with 'than any other', which requires the comparative 'better'. Hence (C) and (D) only.
