SSC CPO 2024 PYQ — Question 45

SSC CPO Tier II - 8 Jan 2024 • English • Q45

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

Mona took a little time to thought before she gave her consent to the proposal.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. time for thought.

The error lies in the phrase "time for thought" because it incorrectly uses a noun form when the verb form is needed.

The correct phrase "time to think" uses the infinitive form "to think" to indicate the purpose of the time taken.

This correction ensures that the sentence properly conveys the action of considering something before making a decision.
