Comparisons are critical on GMAT Sentence Correction. In English, a hefty portion of the ways examinations are organized are with colloquialisms utilizing words, for example, "more," "less," "less," and "than." "Less" and "less" are among the most abused words in the English dialect.

To figure out which of the two words is proper, utilize the accompanying guideline: "Less" looks at non-countable sums, and "less" analyzes countable sums.

Getting littler: less versus fewer

When something uncountable declines, utilize "less":

7) Pennsylvania has less land than does Georgia.

8) I have become less water in my cellar since fixing the windows.

Alright, now prepare for the mix-up zone. When something countable declines, we utilize "less":

9) Female drivers have a tendency to get less speeding tickets.

10) My dormitory had less universal understudies.

11) When less individuals are unemployed, the loan costs tend to rise.

12) If you were rich, would you have less issues?

It's very conceivable that some of those, or even those, "sound" off-base. Numerous many individuals would wrongly use "less" in those sentences despite the fact that "less" is 100% right. On the off chance that you can number it, you have to utilize "less" rather than "less." as it were, at whatever point you would utilize "what number of?" rather than "the amount?", you have to utilize "less" rather than "less."

Coincidentally, the champ for the record-breaking most far reaching syntactically mistaken sign: "ten things or less". How often have you seen that syntactic blunder at the market?

Leniently, when we look at numbers, and numbers diminish, we can just backpedal to utilizing "less."

13) The number of inhabitants in Mongolia is not as much as that of Los Angeles.

14) The cost of a night at the musical show is not as much as aggregate cost of a day at the ballgame.

15) The softening purpose of zinc is not as much as that of copper.

BTW, "softening point" is a temperature, so it is without a doubt a number.
