SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 84

SSC Stenographer - 11/12/2024 (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) • English • Q84

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
What do you like to do on your free days other than to watching movies?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. watching movies.

After the phrase 'other than,' we use the gerund form (verb + ing) to talk about activities.

So, 'other than watching movies' is the correct structure.

Option 1 'watch movie' is incorrect because after 'other than,' we don’t use the base form without gerund.

Option 2 'having watched movies' changes the meaning and tense unnecessarily.

Option 4 'watches movies' is incorrect because 'watches' is the third person singular present tense verb, not suitable here.
