SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 20

SSC CHSL 2023 - 03 Aug 2023 - Shift 4 • English • Q20

The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

Have you ever / wondered / where does / oysters come from?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. where does.

The error lies in the part "where does."

The error is in the subject-verb agreement as "oysters" is plural and "does" is singular.

The sentence is in the present tense, so the correct question formation should be "where do oysters come from?" instead of "where does oysters come from?"

The correct sentence should be "Have you ever wondered where do oysters come from?"
