SSC CHSL - 15 April 2021 - Shift 2 • English • Q19

In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.

I have made it a point to call my teachers on September 5 as a token of mine gratitude.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. of mine gratitude.

The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.

The use of the pronoun 'mine' is incorrect, we need a possessive adjective here.

Mine means of or belonging to me and it is placed at the end of a dialogue.

Thus "my" should be used as it comes before a noun to modify it.

The correct sentence should be: I have made it a point to call my teachers on September 5 as a token of my gratitude.
