1. Which one is the correct translation?
- A. Death is preferable to dishonour
- B. Death is preferable to dishonour
- C. Death is preferable to dishonour
- D. Death is preferable to dishonour
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
The correct sentence is "Death is preferable to dishonour" because "preferable" is an adjective that means "more desirable or worthy of preference." When we use "preferable," we are comparing two or more things and stating a preference for one over the others.
In this case, we are comparing "death" and "dishonour." By saying "death is preferable to dishonour," we are expressing a preference for death over dishonour.
The other sentences are not grammatically correct. "More preferable" is redundant because "preferable" already implies a comparison. Additionally, "then" should be "than" because "than" is the correct word to use when making a comparison.
