SSC CPO - 23 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • English • Q47

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

Do you earn so much to make both ends meet?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. so much to.

  • The phrase "so much" is incorrect in this context because it implies a comparison or extent that doesn't fit the intended meaning of the sentence.
  • The phrase "enough to" is the appropriate construction to indicate sufficiency to achieve a specific goal, which in this case is making both ends meet, meaning to have sufficient income to cover one's basic expenses.
