SSC CPO 2025 PYQ — Question 170

SSC CPO - 11 Dec 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q170

Direction: Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. Rahul is(A) / taller(B) / than any boy(C) / in his office(D).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The sentence is: Rahul is (A) / taller (B) / than any boy (C) / in his office (D).

Error: In part (C): “than any boy”

This is incorrect because:

Rahul is included in “any boy”

So the comparison becomes illogical (comparing Rahul with himself)

Correct forms: than any other boy
