SSC CGL - 13 April 2022 - Shift 1 • English • Q12

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

If he wants / farther information, / send him / to me.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. farther information.

Given sentence: If he wants / farther information, / send him / to me.

The word farther means at, to, or by a great distance, and further means additional to what already exists or has already taken place.

Hence, further should be used instead of farther.

Correct sentence: If he wants / further information, / send him / to me.
