SSC MTS 2023 PYQ — Question 41

SSC MTS - 11 May 2023 - Shift 2 • English • Q41

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

She's considered one/ of a best young/ directors in Hollywood.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. of a best young.

  • The statement "of a best young" is grammatically wrong because "a" is an indefinite article used for singular nouns, however "best" is a superlative adjective that usually requires a definite article ("the") to identify a specific object or group.
  • Thus, the proper statement is "She's considered one of the best young directors in Hollywood." This form appropriately combines the definite article "the" with the superlative adjective "best."
