SSC CPO 2020 PYQ — Question 37

SSC CPO - 25 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • English • Q37

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

I am suitably dressed for the occasion, am I?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ​am I.

  • The error in the segment is related to the use of question tags.
  • If the auxiliary verb in the sentence is affirmative, the tag should be negative. 
    • For example, You are actually quite athletic, aren"t you?
  • Therefore, "am" must be replaced with "aren't".
  • The correct sentence will be: I am suitably dressed for the occasion, aren't I?
