SSC Stenographer - 08 Aug 2025 - Shift 3 • English • Q156

Arrange the sentence parts:
(A) I have never (B) seen such (C) a huge gathering (D) before today

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct arrangement for the sentence parts is ABCD.

Explanation:

(A) I have never: This acts as the subject and auxiliary verb, starting the sentence.

(B) seen such: This is the main verb (past participle) followed by the determiner "such."

(C) a huge gathering: This is the noun phrase acting as the direct object.

(D) before today: This is the adverbial phrase indicating the timeframe, which naturally concludes the sentence.

When combined in this order, the sentence becomes: "I have never seen such a huge gathering before today."
