Choose the correct sentence:

(A) Meerut is farther from Delhi than Ghaziabad.
(B) Meerut is further from Delhi than Ghaziabad.
(C) Meerut is near from Delhi than Ghaziabad.
(D) Meerut is far from Delhi than Ghaziabad.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

(A) Only

The correct answer is Option (4) - (A) Only

• "Farther" vs. "Further":

  • "Farther" is used to indicate physical distance.
  • "Further" is typically used to indicate metaphorical or abstract distances (e.g., further discussion, further investigation).

  Since the sentence is comparing the physical distance of Meerut and Ghaziabad from Delhi, "farther" is the appropriate word.

• Eliminating Incorrect Options:

  • (B): Incorrect because "further" is not typically used for physical distances.
  • (C): Incorrect because "near from" is grammatically incorrect. The correct construction would be "nearer to."
  • (D): Incorrect because "far from" does not indicate a comparison. It should use "farther" or "further" when comparing distances.
