SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 22

SSC CGL - 12 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q22

Select the option that corrects the error in the given sentence.

He ran quick to catch the bus.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. quickly.

"Quick" is an adjective, which describes nouns. "Quickly" is an adverb, which modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this case, it modifies the verb "ran" to describe how he ran.

Since "ran" is a verb, we need to use the adverb "quickly" instead of the adjective "quick".

Hence, the correct sentence is- He ran quickly to catch the bus.
