The error I found was in the question.

"Read(the?) each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any(,) will be in one part of the sentence. the letter of that part is the answer.

If there is no error, the answer is (")D(")NOT 'D'. (ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).

Why not "The charges in the hospital are less than those near my house. " "Those" indicates hospital in the 2nd part of the sentence.

The charges in this hospital are lesser than those hospitals near my house. I guess this is more appropriate.

Since 'charges' is plural, so it should be. Are less than those (i.e charges) in the hospital near my house.

(B) "are LESSER", not "LESS", since, when in comparing we use 2nd degree adjective, as convention.

There should be 'fewer' in place of 'less' as charges in part A is plural countable noun.

'those in the hospitals' or 'that in the hospital'? Which is correct? Please explain.

Jeetu singh said:   8 years ago
Since we use the 2nd form of degree. So won't it be lesser than?

Should it not be lesser than instead of less than ?
