SSC CHSL - 07 Aug 2023 - Shift 2 • English • Q3

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

Robinhood broke within the mansion to collect some food and money for the poor.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. broke into.

Break into" is a phrasal verb that means to enter a place forcefully or illegally, often with the intent to steal or take something.

Here, he forcefully entered the mansion to collect food and money.

"Broke within" is incorrect because "within" means inside something, but it does not convey the idea of forceful entry.

Hence, the correct sentence is:-  "Robin Hood broke into the mansion to collect some food and money for the poor."
