Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is ‘little money’.
Key Points
- The meaning of the given sentence suggests that the elder brother’s income is lesser than the younger brother's.
- The adjective ‘little’ is wrongly used to describe money. ‘Little’ means small and is a positive degree adjective.
- Here we need a comparative degree adjective to compare the earning of the younger brother and elder brother.
- Hence we should use ‘less money' instead of ‘little money.
- Thus option 1 i.e. ‘little money’ contains a grammatical error.
Correct Sentence - I earn less money than my younger brother.
