SSC MTS 2023 PYQ — Question 42

SSC MTS - 04 May 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q42

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

The last time he repeated / the same mistake I thought he would / feel many sorry but I was wrong.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. feel many sorry but I was wrong.

  • The error in the sentence is related to determiners.
  • We use “many” with countable nouns.
  • Here, "sorry" is not countable because it is merely a feeling.
  • Thus, "Many" should be omitted, as we do not need a determiner here.

The correct sentence will be: The last time he repeated the same mistake I thought he would feel sorry but I was wrong.
