SSC CHSL - 10 July 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q10

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

She's under the allusion that she'll get the job.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer option 1 i.e. illusion.

An allusion is a reference to something else used usually in literature, art, or conversation. It does not fit here because the sentence is not about making a reference to something but rather about a misconception.

An illusion is a false idea or belief, something that deceives the mind.

In this sentence, it means she mistakenly believes she will get the job, but this belief might not be based on reality.

Hence, the correct sentence is:- "She's under the illusion that she'll get the job."
