This newspaper has / a bigger circulation / from any other newspaper.
Detailed Solution & Logic
from any other newspaper
Explanation:
The error is in “from any other newspaper.”
The sentence compares the circulation of one newspaper with others, and for comparisons with adjectives like bigger, we use “than”, not “from.”
Correct Sentence:
This newspaper has a bigger circulation than any other newspaper.
Why it is wrong?
- Bigger is a comparative adjective
- Comparative adjectives are usually followed by than
Examples:
- Ram is taller than Shyam.
- This book is better than that one.
Extra Facts (Exam Useful):
Comparative Degree Rule:
- Positive → tall
- Comparative → taller than
- Superlative → tallest
Examples:
- Delhi is larger than Jaipur.
- She is smarter than her friend.
Hindi Meaning:
This newspaper has a bigger circulation than any other newspaper.
