SSC CGL 2019 PYQ — Question 131

SSC CGL Tier II - English 13th Sep. 19 • English • Q131

Select the segment which has an error.
Two American cities, witnessed shooting and resulting in mass fatalities over the weekend.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. and resulting in mass fatalities.

The error lies in part 4 of the sentence.

We need to change "resulting" into "resulted" for making the sentence grammatically correct.

The part of speech joined with AND should always be the same- witnessed shooting and resulted.

The correct sentence will be-

Two American cities, witnessed shooting and resulted in mass fatalities over the weekend.
