Answer 2

she was the better dancer (spot the error)

Correct Statement:

She was the best dancer in her class.

• Here, better is an error. Instead of using 'better', we should use the "best" in the given sentence.

• In grammar, there are three degrees of comparison. the positive, the comparative, and the superlative.

• The word 'Good' is a positive degree that is used to describe one item, one person, or one group.

• The word 'Better' is a comparative degree that is used to describe two items, persons, or groups.

• The word 'Best' is a superlative degree that is used to describe more than 2 items, people, or groups.
