Spot the error: 'The crowd was very huge.' MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Spot the error: 'The crowd was very huge.'
A. crowd
B. was
C. very huge
D. No error
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
'Huge' already means very large; 'very huge' is redundant but not incorrect. Some consider it acceptable; however, 'huge' is extreme adjective. Better: 'very large'. But many exams accept 'very huge' as error because 'huge' does not usually take 'very'. I'll keep as error: 'very huge' is often considered a mistake because 'huge' is a strong adjective. So correct answer A.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Use 'the more beautiful' for two? Actually, for two, comparative can take 'the': 'the more beautiful of the two' is correct. But 'more beautiful' is comparative; 'most beautiful' would be wrong. So no error. I'll adjust to make it error: maybe 'the most beautiful' error. I'll change question: 'She is the most beautiful of the two sisters.' then answer error B. I'll modify.
