Directions(Q.1 to Q.8 ):
In the questions given below, there is a sentence in which one part is given in bold. The part given in bold may or may not be grammatically correct. Choose the best alternative among the four given which can replace the part in bold to make the sentence grammatically correct. If the part given in bold is already correct and does not require any replacement, choose option 5 , i.e. “No replacement required” as your answer.
Nobody can deny the fact that Indian economy is very different than American economy.
The most appropriate phrase to replace the phrase given in bold is “is very different from”. In the given sentence, ’than’ should be replaced with ’from’ because ’different’ is followed by ’from’. Also keep in mind that, ’than’ is used after ’different’, but only in the cases where ’different’ is followed by a noun. For example, I read a different novel than this. Since option 4 is in the precise grammatical syntax, it becomes the most suitable answer choice.
