SSC CGL - 21 July 2023 - Shift 3 • English • Q22

Correct the spelling of the underlined word.

While driving his car, he applied breaks in time to save himself and his family from an accident.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. brakes.

The correct word should be "brakes" instead of "breaks."

"Brakes" refer to the mechanical devices used to slow or stop a vehicle, while "breaks" is a verb meaning to separate into parts or to interrupt continuity. 

Hence, the correct sentence will be: "While driving his car, he applied brakes in time to save himself and his family from an accident."
