error spotting Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ssc cgl tier 1

Directions:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the number of that part with error as your answer. If there is no error, mark (e). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.)

Question :11

People express their expectations (a)/ that their leaders should not (b)/ resorting to (c)/ corrupt practices and nepotism. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (e)

No error.

Question :13

With a fresh coat (a)/ of paint, (b)/ the school can (c)/ look much nice. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (d)

To convey the comparative sense of 'better than it is' we need to use 'more nice' or 'much nicer' not 'much nice' or we could just simply leave out 'much'.

Question :14

The quality of construction (a)/ of our building was (b)/ highly appreciable by (c)/ most of the visitors. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (c)

The word should be 'appreciated' (v.) (praised) and not 'appreciable' (adj.) (considerable).

Question :15

I know nothing (a)/ about chess because (b)/ my games teacher also (c)/ was not knowing nothing about it. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (d)

'Was not knowing nothing' has a wrong tense usage and also involves two negatives. It should be 'did not know anything' (or 'knew nothing') in place of 'was not knowing nothing.'
