SSC MTS 2024 PYQ — Question 68

SSC MTS - 22/10/2024 - (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) • English • Q68

Select the grammatically correct sentence from the given options.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. It is strange to see a guy shouting in the mall without any reason.

Error concept: Wrong comparative/superlative usage and incorrect word choices in other options.

What is wrong:

  • Option 2 uses “too stranger”, which is grammatically wrong because “stranger” is a comparative form, not to be used with too in this way.

  • Option 3 repeats the same error and also wrongly uses “beside any reason” instead of “without any reason.”

  • Option 4 has “too stranger” again and incorrectly changes “shouting” to “shout”, which does not fit the sentence structure.

Grammatical concept: The correct form is “It is strange to see…” where strange is an adjective in the positive degree, suitable for describing the situation naturally.

Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using “too stranger” is ungrammatical and distorts the meaning.

Correct phrase/ correction: strange to see a guy shouting in the mall without any reason.

Final sentence: It is strange to see a guy shouting in the mall without any reason.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
