The required answer: খ) Of all the boys, he is the latter.

  • “Latter” শব্দটি কেবল দুইটির মধ্যে দ্বিতীয়টি বোঝাতে ব্যবহার হয়, দুই-এর বেশি হলে নয়।

  • “Of all the boys” মানে অনেক ছেলে; সেখানে latter ব্যবহার ভুল।

  • সঠিক হবে: He is the latter of the two boys.

Rules and Notes:

  • দুইয়ের মধ্যে তুলনা বোঝাতে comparative, দুই-এর অধিক বোঝাতে superlative ব্যবহার হয়।

    • Inc.: She is the most beautiful of the two girls.

    • Cor.: She is the more beautiful of the two girls.

  • Comparative-এর আগে the বসে না, কিন্তু দুই-কথাটি উল্লেখ থাকলে তার আগে the ব্যবহৃত হয়।

    • Inc.: He is taller boy in the class.

    • Cor.: He is the tallest boy in the class.

    • Or: He is taller than any other boy in the class.
