SSC CHSL 2023 - 04 Aug 2023 - Shift 2 • English • Q20

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

Lewis can handle many of the European languages with its dialectical varieties fluently.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. with their dialectical varieties.

  • The original sentence is grammatically incorrect because "its" refers to Lewis, which is singular, while "dialectical varieties" refers to multiple languages, which is plural.
  • Option 2 corrects this error by using "their" to refer to the plural "European languages."
  • "Their" is a possessive pronoun that can refer to multiple people or things.

Using the correct pronoun their helps to make the sentence clear and grammatically correct.
