Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: The error is in the phrase "senior than him."
Explanation: The adjective "senior" is followed by the preposition "to," not "than." Therefore "senior than him" is incorrect.
Corrected sentence:
Ram always respected his boss because his boss was senior to him.
Alternative: Ram always respected his boss because his boss was older than him.
Tip: Use "senior to" or use comparative adjectives like "older than." Also avoid ambiguous pronoun references by repeating the noun if needed (e.g., "his boss").
