SSC CGL - 19 Sep 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q8

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
In some countries, you are not able to drink until you are 21.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. able to drink.

The phrase 'able to drink' suggests a physical or biological inability to drink alcohol until the age of 21, which is incorrect.

The intended meaning is about the legal permission to drink alcohol, not physical ability.

Hence, the correct sentence is:- 'In some countries, you are not allowed to drink until you are 21.'
