SSC MTS 2022 PYQ — Question 16

SSC MTS - 21 July 2022 - Shift 2 • English • Q16

Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

______ Paul and Jenny are waiting for you in their office.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answear is Option D i.e.,  Both.

  • The most appropriate option to fill in the blank would be "Both".
  • The sentence would then read: "Both Paul and Jenny are waiting for you in their office."
  • This implies that both individuals are present and waiting for the person being addressed. The other options do not fit well in this sentence:
    • "Any" does not work because it suggests that there may be others waiting, not necessarily both Paul and Jenny.
    • "Either" also does not fit because it implies a choice between two options, but there is no choice involved in this sentence.
    • "All" does not work because it suggests that there are more than two people waiting, which is not specified in the sentence.

Thus, the correct sentence would be:

Both Paul and Jenny are waiting for you in their office.
