SSC CGL - 6th March 2020 Shift 1 • English • Q21

Back to paper

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

Those who are late they will not be allowed inside the classroom.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. they will not.

  1. The error lies in option 2 because of the wrong use of "Pronoun".
  2. We need to remove "They" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • We don't use pronoun twice for a verb in the same sentence.
  • In the given statement "Those" is the subject for the verb "Will" hence, "They" is superfluous here.
  • The chosen option contains the ERROR hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

Those who are late will not be allowed inside the classroom.
