SSC CGL Tier II English - 17/02/2018 • English • Q87

Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

The tribunal noted that the driver of the (offend) truck did not lead any evidence in rebuttal of the claims.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. offending.

  • The main tense of the statement by the subject (tribunal) is portrayed in the past tense. So, to make accurate sense it is important that we use the continuous form of the verb (offend) by the object (truck driver) of the sentence. The other options either imply itself as a noun (offence) or is incorrect in it's form (offencing).
