SSC CGL 2018 PYQ — Question 83

SSC CGL Tier II English - 17/02/2018 • English • Q83

Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

While two judges in the majority said the practice was arbitrary and, therefore, unconstitutional, the third judge called it (legally).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  • The words 'legality' and 'illegally' are nouns and adverbs respectively. Whereas, judging from the sense made by the sentence the judges' remarks are in the form of adjectives. So, it is only appropriate to use an adjective in this case, that is 'illegal'.
