SSC CPO - 29 June 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q27

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. He wanted to visiting the Golden Temple in Amritsar.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. wanted to visit.

The error lies in the phrase "to visiting".The correct phrase should be "to visit".

The verb "want" is followed by an infinitive, which is the base form of a verb. So, instead of "to visiting", it should be "to visit".

Thus, the correct sentence is- He wanted to visit the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
