SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 8

SSC CGL - 24 July 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q8

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

Maruti likes / adventure / stories, especially / an adventures of Tarzan.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. an adventures of Tarzan.

  • The word "adventures" should be used in its plural form to match the plural noun "stories."
  • The indefinite article "an" before "adventures" is incorrect; it should not precede a plural noun like "adventures."

Therefore, the corrected sentence reads smoothly as: "Maruti likes adventure stories, especially adventures of Tarzan."
