Question:

Identify the correct sentence out of the following:

(A) The latter part of the book is not interesting.
(B) The later part of the book is not interesting.
(C) The after part of the book is not interesting.
(D) The before part of the book is not interesting.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(C)

(A)

(B)

(D)

Correct Answer:

(A)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)

  • "Latter" refers to the second of two things or the final part of something.
  • The sentence is talking about the final part of the book, so "latter" is the correct word to use.

OTHER OPTIONS

  • (B) "The later part of the book is not interesting."
    • "Later" is used for comparing time (e.g., I will call you later), not for referring to the second part of something.
  • (C) "The after part of the book is not interesting."
    • "After part" is not a standard phrase in English.
  • (D) "The before part of the book is not interesting."
    • "Before part" is not grammatically correct. Instead, we say "the former part" or "the beginning" of the book.

Thus, the correct sentence is: "The latter part of the book is not interesting."
