Question

jeannie was more surprised than her aunt was when they were frequently ignored and disrespected by the salespeople at the most exclusive store in town.
which underlined part of this sentence, if any, contains an error?
a. most exclusive
b. frequently
c. more surprised
d. no error

Explanation:

• For option A: "most exclusive" is the superlative form of "exclusive" (since "exclusive" has three or more syllables, we use "most + adjective" for superlative), which is correct.
• For option B: "frequently" is an adverb modifying the verb "ignored" and "disrespected", and its usage is grammatically correct.
• For option C: "more surprised" is the comparative form of "surprised" (used to compare Jeannie's surprise with her aunt's), and this is correct as well.
• Since all underlined parts are grammatically correct, the answer is D.

Answer:

D. no error
