Introduction / Context:
This question checks correct comparative forms when comparing exactly two people. The sentence is divided into four parts; your task is to find an error if one exists.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- The comparison involves exactly two sisters.
- Standard rule: use “the elder” or “the older” for two; “eldest/oldest” is reserved for three or more in a group (especially within a family).
- Word order and agreement also matter.
Concept / Approach:
When comparing two, “elder/older” is correct. The structure “Of the two sisters, Meena is the elder” is idiomatic and grammatical. Punctuation (comma after the prepositional phrase) is optional in exam style and does not impact correctness.
Step-by-Step Solution:
A: “Of the two” correctly signals a comparison between two items.B: “sisters” completes the object of the preposition.C: “Meena is” is a correct subject–linking verb sequence.D: “the elder.” is precisely the correct comparative form when there are two sisters.
Verification / Alternative check:
Equivalent form: “Meena is the older (of the two).” Both are acceptable; no grammatical error exists.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
None of the segments contains an error; therefore “No error.” is correct.
Common Pitfalls:
Using “eldest” with two items; believing “elder” requires an explicit “of the two” at the end (it is already present at the start).
Final Answer:
No error.
