SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 32

SSC CPO - 11 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • English • Q32

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

She has checked everything she needs before started work.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. before starting work.

The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. 

After the preposition “before”, we need an object of the preposition.

Thus, in place of the verb “started”, use V-ing form “starting”(non-finite).

The correct sentence will be: She has checked everything she needs before starting work.
