SSC CPO Tier II - 2 May 2023 - Shift 2 • English • Q49

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains a grammatical error. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.

About the end of the month, the financial planning takes an extremely compromising turn.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. About the end of the month.

The error is related to the incorrect form of the preposition.

"End of the month" refers to a particular time but "about" does not refer to that.

"At" is used to express the time when an event takes place.

Thus, "At the end of the month" is the correct phrase.

The correct sentence will be: At the end of the month, the financial planning takes an extremely compromising turn.
