One of the statements below contains a word used incorrectly or inappropriately. Choose the option which has the incorrect or inappropriate usage of the word.
The words “farther” ( and “further") occur in these sentences. We look at each sentence and try to identify if the words are correctly used in each sentence.
Option A accurately uses “farther" as it describes the actual distance from college.
Option B employs the other terms correctly, with no mistakes regarding “farther” or "further.
In Option C, the phrase "farther your career” is incorrect; the proper word is "further” because it denotes figurative or abstract progress, such as in a career, while “farther” refers to physical distance.
Option D correctly uses “further" because it pertains to time or degree, as in allowing a problem to worsen.
Option C is therefore the correct answer for this question.
