Answer 2

Answer:

The incorrect word is "less", it will be "Least"

Explanation:

The phrase "Most Disciplined" signifies that the sentence is written in Superlative Degree.

There are Three kinds of Degree form-

1. Positive Degree- It is used when there is No Comparison. For Example- She is a Beautiful girl.
2. Comparative Degree- It is used when a Comparison is made between Two persons or objects. For example- She is More Beautiful than her sister.
3. Superlative Degree- It is used when a Comparison is made among More than Two persons or objects. For example- She is the Most Beautiful girl in the town.

Here "she" is described as the "most disciplined" girl. The Adjective is in Superlative Degree so the second Adjective "less arrogant" should also be in Superlative Degree.

Hence the word "less" is incorrect, it will be "Least".
