SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 11

SSC CGL - 26 Sep 2024 - Shift 2 • English • Q11

Identify the error in the given sentence.

My colleague always works latest than me.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

"Latest" is a superlative adjective used to describe the most recent or up-to-date event, time, or item (e.g., "This is the latest news"). It does not compare two things.

"Later" is a comparative adjective used to compare two actions or events occurring at different times (e.g., "She arrived later than me").

Since the sentence is comparing the working times of "my colleague" and "me," the comparative form "later" should be used.

Hence, the correct sentence is:- "My colleague always works later than me."
