SSC CGL - 26 Jul 2023 - Shift 2 • English • Q9

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

You should / see a oculist; / your eyes look / worse today.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. see a oculist;.

  • The error lies in the use of the article "a" before the word "oculist."

  • The word "oculist" starts with a vowel sound, so it should be preceded by the article "an" instead of "a" to maintain grammatical correctness.

  • Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: "You should see an oculist; your eyes look worse today."
