Question and options
Which of the following phrases should replace the phrase underlined to make the sentence grammatically correct? (The underlined phrase is shown in square brackets.)
He considers the new assignment as more challenging than [much of the other] assignments.
- none of the other
- most of the other
- rest of the other
- No correction required
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - most of the other
'Much' is used with uncountable nouns; 'assignments' is countable plural, so we need 'most of the other assignments'. 'None of the other' makes no sense after 'more challenging than', and 'rest of the other' is redundant.
