SSC GD Const (English) - 21 Feb 2024 - Shift 2 • English • Q18

Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

You could see / they were being careful as hell / not to drink up the minimum fastest.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. not to drink up the minimum fastest.

The sentence wants to clarify that they were cautious about not drinking too quickly.

The sentence doesn't talk in superlative degree and hence using the adverb "fastest" is incorrect.

To indicate the speed "too fast" is correct to use. 

The correct sentence will be - You could see they were being careful as hell not to drink up the minimum too fast.
