SSC CPO 2021 PYQ — Question 60

SSC CPO Tier II - 8 Nov 2021 • English • Q60

Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

This newspaper has a bigger circulation from any other newspaper in our town.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. from any other newspaper.

The segment with the grammatical error in the sentence is "from any other newspaper"

The correct phrase should use "than" instead of "from." The comparative form "bigger" should be followed by "than" to compare the circulation with other newspapers.

So the corrected sentence is "This newspaper has a bigger circulation than any other newspaper in our town."
