SSC CPO Tier I - 12th March 2019 - Shift 1 • English • Q45

Identify the segment in the sentence, which contains the grammatical error.

In this novel I came across some words which meaning I do not know.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. which meaning.

  1. The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of Relative pronoun.
  2. We need to replace "which" with "whose" for making the statement correct. 
  3. Whenever we use Relative pronoun as a possessive case "whose" is preferred over "of which".
  4. In the statement, there is no "of" with "which" as well so we need to replace it with "whose".

The correct sentence will be-
