Help on adjective

Post by Seemabhukar »

Sentence correction:
If I say,
She is the most intelligent person.
Is it wrong to say grammatically?
I am posting this question because the answer of the above sentence is given as:
She is a most intelligent person.
But grammatically what is the error in the first sentence?
Suggestions please.

There is no grammatical error. The two sentences simply have slightly different meanings.
