SSC GD Const (English) - 24 Feb 2024 - Shift 4 • English • Q7

Improve the underlined part of correct. the sentence. Choose "No improvement" as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct.

The hippopotamus is a mildly and peace-loving animal

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. a mild and.

The reason is that "mild" is the appropriate adjective to describe the hippopotamus, and "and" connects the two adjectives describing the animal.

"Milder" and "the mildest" are comparative and superlative forms, which are not needed in this context. "No improvement" is not correct because "mild" is needed, not "mildly."
