Spot the error.He grew to be over six feet tall because both of his parents were much smaller.
Correct answer: D. Much
- A. Over
- B. Because
- C. Both
- D. Much
Explanation
This adverb is incorrect here. The correct phrase should be "were much smaller," using the adjective "smaller" to compare the height of his parents. "Much" should not be used with "smaller"; instead, "smaller" should stand alone to denote the comparative degree. It is correct option.
