SSC CGL 2020 PYQ — Question 4

SSC CGL - 7 March 2020 Shift 2 • English • Q4

Back to paper

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

He went to work but returned back immediately.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. but returned back.

  1. The error lies in option 3 because of the wrong use of "Superfluous use of Word".
  2. We need to replace "Returned back" with "Returned" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • The word "Return" means to "come back" hence, using "Back" makes it superfluous.
  • The chosen option contains the ERROR hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

He went to work but returned immediately.
