SSC CGL Tier II English - 17/02/2018 • English • Q149

Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

The B109 funds are intended to offset the loss of wages due to TB, and to help with (both travelling and nutrition).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. both travel and nutrition.

  • Travel indicates itself as a noun, so using 'travelling' becomes incorrect as it changes the meaning to a verb. We get to know that 'travel' (the noun form) is appropriate here because the latter half of the sentence uses 'nutrition', which is also in it's noun form.
