SSC CGL - 20 April 2022 - Shift 1 • English • Q23

 Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error.
Alex picked up the boxes quite easily even they were heavy.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. even they were heavy.

  • In the above sentence we need to use 'even though' as a conjunction.
  • It is a subordinate conjuntion which makes the fact in the main clause look surprising.

Hence, the correct sentence is

Alex picked up the boxes quite easily even though they were heavy.
