SSC Stenographer - 18 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • English • Q70

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.

Rohan got his birthday gift in the twilight.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 1 i.e. received his birthday present at dusk

Twilight refers to the period of the evening when the sun is just below the horizon, and it can be a bit vague.

Using "at dusk" clarifies the time frame as the early evening when it's starting to get dark.

The other options, "in the dawn" and "in the morning," refer to early morning times, which may not accurately convey the intended time frame of receiving the birthday gift.

"In the genesis" is not a suitable choice as it does not relate to time as it means the beginning or origin of something.

Hence, the most appropriate option would be received his birthday present at dusk.
