SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 9

SSC CGL - 10 Sep 2024 - Shift 2 • English • Q9

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.

No other place in this country is so better as Gulmarg, Kashmir.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. so better as.

The error lies in the phrase "so better."

"Better" is a comparative adjective, and it should not be used with "so."

The correct construction for comparisons is "better than."

Therefore, the sentence should read: "No other place in this country is better than Gulmarg, Kashmir."

This maintains proper grammatical structure while accurately conveying the intended comparison.
