SSC CHSL 2021 PYQ — Question 14

SSC CHSL - 6 Aug 2021 - Shift 1 • English • Q14

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

If you rent a house near your office, it will save your time as well as also money.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. as well as also money.

  • “As well as” is used as a conjunction or preposition to connect two parts of a sentence and means “in addition to” or “in addition”.
    • For example, “It's important to consider the risks as well as the rewards”.
  • Thus, the use of the word "also" is redundant in the sentence as the meaning of also is already embedded in "as well as".

So the correct sentence is: If you rent a house near your office, it will save your time as well as money.
