SSC CHSL 2024 PYQ — Question 25

SSC CHSL - 08 July 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q25

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.

In this cold weather, / there’s nothing / like good / cup of coffee.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. like good.

The article "a" is necessary because "cup" is a singular, countable noun. Singular countable nouns in English require an article (e.g., "a" or "the") to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Without it, the phrase "good cup of coffee" is incomplete and sounds awkward. Thus, the correct phrase is "a good cup of coffee."
