SSC CGL - 03 Dec 2022 - Shift 3 • English • Q8

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

The manager told her that / she should be a bit more / careful while executed the / orders of the company.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. careful while executed the.

  • The segment that contains a grammatical error is "careful while executed the" as it should be "while executing the".
  • The verb "executing" needs to be in the present participle form to match the auxiliary verb "should be" which is in the present tense.

Thus, the correct sentence would be:

The manager told her that she should be a bit more careful while executing the orders of the company.
