SSC CGL - 03 Dec 2022 - Shift 1 • English • Q17

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

There is a whole world / out there that / is invisible from / the naked eye.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. is invisible from.

  • The error lies in third part of the given sentence. The preposition 'from' is wrongfully used in the given sentence.
  • Preposition 'from' is used to refer to the place where someone or something starts to originate.
  • Preposition 'to' is used to refer to a thing or a person that either receives or experiences the object of the verb.
  • If we focus on the given setence, 'invisible' is an action and 'the naked eye' will be the receiver.
  • Thus, the appropropriate preposition will be 'to'.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be:

There is a whole world out there that is invisible to the naked eye.
