SSC CGL - 19 April 2022 - Shift 1 • English • Q15

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error.

Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.

It has been / raining intermittently / since two days.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. since two days

  • The error is in the last part of the sentence i.e. 'since two days' as 'since' is used 'with a point in time in past'.
  • Hence, instead of 'since' 'for' should be used.

Hence, the correct sentence is-

It has been raining intermittently for two days.
