SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 75

SSC Stenographer - 11/12/2024 (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) • English • Q75

Select the most appropriate adverb to fill in the blank.
Good books should be read again and _________ .

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 1. again.

The phrase 'again and again' is a common collocation meaning 'repeatedly' or 'many times.'
So, 'Good books should be read again and again' means they should be read repeatedly to fully appreciate them.

Why others are incorrect:

2. ever → does not fit the repetition meaning here.

3. never → opposite meaning (not reading).

4. after → grammatically incorrect in this context.
