SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 135

SSC Stenographer - 07 Aug 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q135

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

She is my cousin sister.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

In English grammar, the term "cousin" is gender-neutral. Adding "sister" or "brother" after "cousin" is considered redundant because the gender is already established by the subject pronoun ("She").

Correct Sentence: The sentence should simply be, "She is my cousin."

Option (4) is the correct answer.
