corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the “No error” option.
I want to show (1)/ people there is as much (2)/ more we can offer. (3)/ No Error (4)

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Detailed Explanation:

The error lies in Part (2) of the sentence: “people there is as much”.

• Grammar Rule & Analysis: The comparative degree adjective “more” cannot be preceded by the phrase “as much” in this context. The structure “as much as” is used for equative degree comparisons (e.g., “as much as possible”). When emphasizing an additional amount or degree alongside a comparative adjective like more, the correct modifying phrase is “so much more” or simply “much more”.
• Correction: Replace “as much” with “so much” or “much”.
• Correct Sentence: “I want to show people there is so much more we can offer.”

Hence, Option b) 2 is the correct answer.
