SSC CGL - 23 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q2

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined word segment in the given sentence.

Sanat has just arrived in Mysore on transfer; he requests his friend Raghu to help him find an appropriate location.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. a rented accommodation.

Introduction: We are asked to select the most appropriate phrase to replace the underlined part of the sentence.

Context: Sanat has been transferred to Mysore and is seeking help from a friend to find a place to live.

Analysis of the given options:

  • an allocation recommendation – awkward and unnatural phrase in this context; not used to refer to housing.

  • a rented accommodation – refers clearly and correctly to a place to live temporarily.

  • a proper junction – refers to road crossings, not living space.

  • a suitable elevation – refers to height above sea level; irrelevant here.

Correct phrase: a rented accommodation

Reason: Since Sanat is looking for a place to stay, the term “rented accommodation” appropriately fits the context of residential need after a transfer.

Final Sentence: Sanat has just arrived in Mysore on transfer; he requests his friend Raghu to help him find a rented accommodation.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
