SSC GD Const (English) - 24 Feb 2024 - Shift 4 • English • Q12

Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.

Loud fireworks also have an _____________ on glaciers.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. effect.

The correct word is "effect" because it is a noun that refers to the result or outcome of something.

In the sentence, the fireworks are causing an impact on glaciers, so "effect" is appropriate.

"Affect" is a verb, "effecting" is an incorrect verb form, and "affects" is also a verb, which doesn't fit the grammatical structure needed here.
