SSC MTS - 19 Feb 2026 - Shift 3 • English • Q82

In the given question, a sentence is divided into four parts and given in the alternatives (A), (B), (C), and (D). There is an error in one part. Choose the alternative containing that part of the sentence that has the error. Choosing the alternative with the error will be the answer.

Mr. Barik was a millionaire and he wanted to spend a lot of money in his daughter's marriage to make it a memorable event.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The error lies in Part ‘B’ of the sentence.

We typically use the preposition "on" when talking about spending money or time for a specific purpose or event.

One spends money on something (like a wedding, a car, or an education), not "in" it.

Correct sentence should be:

"Mr. Barik was a millionaire and he wanted to spend a lot of money on his daughter's marriage to make it a memorable event."
