sentence improvement Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ssc cgl tier 1

Answer: (c)

Parallel construction requires the verb 'reduce' to go with 'eliminate'. Option (c) has 'in the least' which makes no sense in the context of the sentence.

Answer: (d)

'Liable to' means 'subject to' an obligation or exposed to a possibility or risk ('likely to'). Don't mark (a) in a hurry just because you recognised 'liable' to be the correct term; the preposition following it should also be correct.

Answer: (b)

'Distinct,' meaning marked or clear, is an adjective and 'advantages', a noun. Only these will suit the sentence.

Answer: (c)

'Who' is an interrogative and a relative pronoun meaning 'what person or people'. But 'whom' is the objective case of 'who', used as a direct or indirect object, e.g., whom did you call? As the sentence is declarative, the word order is 'they should' and not 'should they'.

Answer: (a)

If the nouns need different prepositions, all the required preposition must be used. After 'faith', 'in' is to be used.
