Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence makes a illogical comparison by saying Zia is more beautiful than any girl in the class. Since Zia herself is a girl in the class, this implies she is more beautiful than herself. The correct comparison requires 'any other girl' to exclude Zia from the group being compared to. This is a standard comparative rule when comparing one member of a group to the entire group.
