SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 161

SSC Stenographer - 08 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q161

Select the most appropriate option to improve the bold part of the sentence.

We enjoyed during the party last night.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The verb "enjoy" is a transitive verb, meaning it generally requires a direct object (something or someone being enjoyed).

Reflexive Pronoun: When we don't specify a specific thing (like "the music" or "the food"), we must use a reflexive pronoun like "ourselves" to act as the object.

Preposition: While "during" is grammatically possible, "at the party" is the more natural idiomatic expression for attending an event.

Therefore, the corrected sentence is:

"We enjoyed ourselves at the party last night."
