SSC CGL Tier II - English - 16th Nov 2020 • English • Q38

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

She has been a member of this club since it’s formation.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. since it’s formation.

  • The erroneous Part 'since it's formation' will be changed to 'since its formation'.

  • It's is a contraction of "it is" or "it has".

  • Whereas, 'Its' is a possessive determiner we use to say that something belongs to or refers to something.

  • Here, in the given question, possessive case i.e. 'its' should be used because it is talking about the formation of the club.

The correct sentence will be:- She has been a member of this club since its formation.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. since it’s formation.
