Hi, there.

Look at the following sentence.

Australian rice is more expensive than American one.

This is a kind of grammar quiz.
One of the underlined parts is grammatically wrong, and I have to find and correct it.

In my opinion, American one looks awkward, but I don't know how to correct it.

Am I right in the choice?
Would you tell me how the wrong parts should be corrected?

I'm waiting for your answer.

Thanks.

You are right. "American one" is incorrect.

Here is how I would fix it:

Australian rice is more expensive than American rice.

OR

Australian rice is more expensive than the American variety.

Good Luck!!!!
