SSC CHSL - 3rd July 2019 - Shift 3 • English • Q18

In the below-given sentence, Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

I expect to return from Singapore during about a week's time.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. during about.

Concept/Grammar rules

Application

The use of 'during' is incorrect in this sentence as it cannot come before ''about'. The most suitable preposition is "in" as to refer to one point in time, use the prepositions "in" in some specific sentences.

So, the correct sentence is:

I expect to return from Singapore in about a week's time.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
