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 :26

I am extremely tired and (a)/ I cannot talk to you now (b)/ because I was just (c)/ returned from office. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (c)

Past tense verb should not be used; 'have' should replace 'was' for verb uniformity (present form).

Question :27

I have no patience (a)/ to people who (b)/ indulge in silly talk (c)/ and uncivilised behaviour. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

The correct preposition should be used. Note that it is patience 'with' people and not 'to' people.

Question :28

If your mother (a)/ will come again, (b)/ I shall report (c)/ against you. (d)/ No error (e)
