Correct Answer: Option A


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.
