SSC Stenographer 2023 PYQ — Question 47

SSC Stenographer - 13 Oct 2023 - Shift 3 • English • Q47

Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
We are discussing for the same matter.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. discussing.

  • The phrase "discussing for" is incorrect because "discussing" does not require the preposition "for" to convey the intended meaning.
  • In English, "discussing" is used directly with the topic or matter being talked about.
  • Therefore, the sentence should just be "We are discussing the same matter," where "discussing" correctly introduces the topic of discussion without needing an additional preposition.
