if there are errors in both sentences; and

if there is no error in either of the sentences.

If there are more than two errors in either of the sentence.

Solution:

His cat is larger than my dog.(For adjectives that are just one syllable, add -er to the end) I do badly in math, but at least I’m not the worst.-irregular adjectives (and adverbs) that don’t follow the normal rules. Hence Ii statement is correct.
