SSC MTS - 18/10/2024 - (12:30 PM - 2:30 PM) • English • Q73

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
I bought a _____ but it is ______.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. chip; cheap.

Context: The sentence talks about buying something that costs little, so the blank must indicate the object bought and its low cost.

Meaning of the words:

  • cane – a stick or walking stick
  • cain – a name, not relevant here
  • chip – a small piece of something (used here as the item bought)
  • cheap – low in cost

Correct word: chip; cheap

Reason: The sentence makes sense as: “I bought a chip but it is cheap”, showing the object and its cost. Other options do not fit the meaning.

Final Sentence: I bought a chip but it is cheap.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
