Question

Select the option that rectifies the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no correction is needed, select ‘No correction required’.

Ashoka was not only a great warrior but also a very **wiser** ruler.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "very wiser" is grammatically incorrect because "wiser" is already a comparative form of "wise" and does not require an intensifier like "very".

2. The correct forms could be:
   - "wise" (positive form) without "very"
   - "wiser" (comparative form) without "very"

3. In the sentence, "Ashoka was not only a great warrior but also a very wiser ruler," the use of "very wiser" is incorrect.

4. Among the options:
   - "more wise" is grammatically possible but less common and not the best choice here.
   - "No correction required" is incorrect because "very wiser" is wrong.
   - "wisest" is superlative and does not fit the sentence structure.
   - "wise" is correct and fits well with the sentence.

**Corrected sentence:**

"Ashoka was not only a great warrior but also a wise ruler."

**Answer:** wise
