Question

**Samira is the better of the two girls when it comes to solving hard mathematical problems.**

Choose the option that can replace the bold part to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. If no correction is needed, select option (e).

(i) is the better of two girls

(ii) is better of the two girls

(iii) is better of two girls

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The original sentence "Samira is the better of the two girls when it comes to solving hard mathematical problems" is both grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.

2. Option (i) "is the better of two girls" is incorrect because the definite article "the" is necessary before "two girls" to specify the comparison between exactly two individuals.

3. Options (ii) and (iii) omit the definite article "the" and are therefore grammatically incorrect.

4. Since the original sentence is correct as it stands, no correction is needed.

**Answer:** (e) No correction is required
