SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 28 June 2023 - Shift 2 • English • Q14

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
One is sure ________ what one sees.
 

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. about.

The correct preposition to use with the adjective "sure" when referring to a fact or piece of information is "about."

"Sure about" means confident or certain of something.

Why the other options are incorrect:

With: Used to indicate association or possession is not suitable here.

Around: Refers to physical position or movement is irrelevant in this context.

Without: Implies absence which does not fit the meaning of certainty.

Final Sentence: One is sure about what one sees.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
