Answer 1

The correct answer is 'as much rainfall'.

Key Points

The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
Here, 'as much rainfall' should be used instead of 'much rainfall'.
We use 'as+ adjective/adverb +as' to make comparisons when the things we are comparing are equal in some way.
- Example: The world’s biggest bull is as big as a small elephant.
In the given sentence the rainfall of the whole of India is being compared with 'Mawsynram'.
Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: No other place in India gets as much rainfall as Mawsynram.

Hinglish

दिया गया वाक्य व्याकरण की दृष्टि से गलत है।
यहाँ 'much rainfall' के स्थान पर 'as much rainfall' का प्रयोग किया जाना चाहिए।
हम तुलना करने के लिए as + adjective/adverb + as के रूप में उपयोग करते हैं जब हम जिन चीजों की तुलना कर रहे हैं वे किसी तरह से समान हैं।
- Example: The world’s biggest bull is as big as a small elephant.
दिए गए वाक्य में पूरे भारत की वर्षा की तुलना 'Mawsynram' से की जा रही है।
इसलिए, ऊपर वर्णित बिंदुओं के अनुसार, हम पाते हैं कि सही उत्तर विकल्प 2 है।
