SSC CGL 2018 PYQ — Question 98

SSC CGL Tier II English - 18/02/2018 • English • Q98

Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

What if the government itself fails (to tackle that divisions) and lets parts of the country drift into anarchy again.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. To tackle these divisions.

  • 'That' and 'divisions' cannot come together as 'that' is used for a singular noun while 'divisions' are plural.
  • For 'divisions', 'these' is required as 'these' takes a plural noun after it.
  • 'To' takes the base of the verb after it and hence 'tackle' is already correct.

The correct sentence will be-

What if the government itself fails to tackle these divisions and lets parts of the country drift into anarchy again.
