SSC CHSL - 11 July 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q25

Identify the error in the tense of the sentence and select the option that correctly rectifies the error.
Between two evils, I always picks the one I have never tried before.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Between two evils, I always pick the one I have never tried before.

The error is in "I always picks" because the subject "I" always takes the base form of the verb, not the third-person singular form.

In English, third-person singular subjects (he, she, it) take the verb ending -s (e.g., "he picks"), but with "I", we always use the base form (e.g., "I pick").

Therefore, the correct sentence is "I always pick".
