SSC GD Const (English) - 26 Feb 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q7

Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'.

She works hardly to pay for her younger sister's school fees.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. She works hardly.

The word 'hardly' means 'barely' or 'almost not,' which suggests minimal effort, the opposite of what's intended.

The correct expression is 'works hard,' where 'hard' is an adverb meaning to put in a lot of effort.

Since the sentence is about someone making an effort to pay the school fees, 'works hard' is the correct choice.
