SSC CGL - 20 April 2022 - Shift 3 • English • Q25

Back to paper

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

We bought / two dozens / mangoes from / the market.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. two dozens

  • The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
  • Instead of 'two dozens,' we should use 'two dozen.'
  • We never write 'dozens' after using a numerical value ahead of it.

Thus, the correct sentence is:

We bought two dozen mangoes from the market.
