The brightest stars

most luminous

can be 30,000 times

than the Sun

- The brightest stars: This segment is grammatically correct. It sets up the subject of the sentence.

- Most luminous: This part is incorrect because the sentence requires a comparative form. It should be "more luminous" instead of "most luminous."

- Can be 30,000 times: This segment is grammatically correct and works as a comparison to the Sun’s luminosity.

- Than the Sun: This segment is also correct, as it completes the comparison started earlier.

Option 2, most luminous, contains the error.
