The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

I earn / little money / than my / younger brother.

The correct answer is ‘little money’.

Key Points

• The meaning of the given sentence suggests that the elder brother’s income is lesser than the younger brother's.
• The adjective ‘little’ is wrongly used to describe money. ‘Little’ means small and is a positive degree adjective.
• Here we need a comparative degree adjective to compare the earning of the younger brother and elder brother.
• Hence we should use ‘less money' instead of ‘little money.
• Thus option 1 i.e. ‘little money’ contains a grammatical error.

Correct Sentence -  I earn less money than my younger brother.
