Question:

Find the part that contains the grammatical error: "The new hashing algorithm is (a)/ more preferable than (b)/ the older one because (c)/ it produces fewer collisions. (d)"

Part (c)

No error

Correct Answer: Part (b)

"Preferable" already carries the comparative sense and takes "to", not "more...than"; the correct phrase is "preferable to". The trap is (d), chosen by those who treat "preferable" as a regular adjective.
