SSC CGL Tier II English - 12/09/2019 • English • Q104

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select No improvement.
He spends good deal of money on clothing.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. a good deal of.

  • The given sentence has an error in the underlined section because it makes incomplete sense.
  • 'Good deal of' has been used in a singular sene to indicate an uncountable noun, which in this case is money.
  • So, the sentence is incomplete because before 'good deal' we don't have an article (a/an/the) to indicate the singularity of the phrase.
  • Hence, the correct answer is 'a good deal of'.
