This is / as good / as that , / when not better
(A)   (B)   (C)   (D)

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Okay, let's break down why the answer is B (Option D).

The sentence is: "This is / as good / as that , / when not better".

The problem is in part (D), "when not better".

This part of the sentence is trying to say "This is as good as that, and sometimes even better." However, "when not better" doesn't quite express that idea correctly or grammatically.

The correct phrase should be something like "if not better" or "or even better". These phrases logically connect the idea of being as good as something with the possibility of being superior.

So, the error lies in the awkward phrasing of part (D). Therefore, the correct option is B: D.
