SSC GD Const (English) - 06 March 2024 - Shift 2 • English • Q20

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

She's such a dearest friend.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. such a dear.

The phrase such a is used to emphasize or express admiration, and it is always followed by the base or positive form of an adjective or noun.

In the given sentence, 'dearest' is a superlative form of 'dear,' which is not the correct usage with "such a".

The correct expression is "such a dear," as it uses the base form of the adjective "dear." 

Correct Sentence: She's such a dear friend.
