SSC CGL Tier II English - 20/02/2018 • English • Q101

Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

(The community have laid stress) on the point that for them dignity, respect, and access to health care are non-negotiable basic rights.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The community has laid stress.

  • We need to use 'has' in place of 'have' because the subject (community) is singular.
  • 'Laid' is already correct because has/have/had takes V3 after it.
  • 'Did laid' is incorrect because 'did' only takes V1 after it.

The correct sentence will be-

The community has laid stress on the point that for them dignity, respect, and access to health care are non-negotiable basic rights.
