SSC CPO Tier II - 2 May 2023 - Shift 2 • English • Q59

Select the option that contains a grammatical error in the underlined portion.

I love Chennai. It is a beautiful city located in the Bay of Bengal, symbolizing the unification of assimilation of culture and integrity.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. I love Chennai. It is a beautiful city located in the Bay of Bengal, symbolizing the unification of assimilation of culture and integrity.

The part is grammatically incorrect as the incorrect preposition is used.

When a place is near the bank of a river we use the preposition "by". 

Thus, "in" should be replaced with "by".

The correct sentence will be: I love Chennai. It is a beautiful city located by the Bay of Bengal, symbolizing the unification of assimilation of culture and integrity.
