Faulty comparisons 2

A comparative sentence is a sentence in which a comparison is being made between two or more things. Often in writing—and in speech—this comparison is faulty because it has fallen victim to one of these errors: the comparison is incomplete, illogical or unclear; or the grammatical structure is incorrect.
