SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 20

SSC CHSL - 12 Nov 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q20

Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
In order to earning decent living, we need to have a good job with a lucrative salary.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The phrase 'earning decent living' is grammatically incorrect in this context because it follows the preposition 'to,' which requires a verb in its base form (the infinitive form). The correct structure is 'in order to' followed by the base verb 'earn'. Therefore, the complete corrected sentence is: 'In order to earn a decent living, we need to have a good job with a lucrative salary.'
