SSC MTS - 20 July 2022 - Shift 1 • English • Q6

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.

Many countries are not acting / fast enough to controlled / climate change.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. fast enough to controlled.

The second part of the sentence, "to controlled climate change," contains an error of tense agreement. The verb "controlled" is in the past participle form, which is incorrect here because the sentence is in the present tense. Instead, the correct form of the verb to use here is the base form "control."

The error is in the second part of the sentence. It should be "control" instead of "controlled."

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Many countries are not acting fast enough to control climate change."
