SSC CGL Tier II English - 19/02/2018 • English • Q49

Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

Life in (more) thriving towns is intimately connected with the local trades and industries.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e., most.

The noun here “towns” is in plural form. Thus, a suitable determiner should be used. “Most” is a determiner that is used before a noun as a determiner to speak in general. Therefore, “more” should be replaced with “most” to make the sentence grammatically correct.

The correct sentence will be-

Life in most thriving towns is intimately connected with the local trades and industries.
