spotting errors Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ssc chsl tier 1 2023

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 :1

The discreet enquiry revealed (a)/ that his involvement in (b)/ the fraud cases have been (c)/ more than what was first guessed. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (c)

As we are referring to 'his involvement', it should be 'has been' and not 'have been'. There has to be agreement between the noun, num- ber and the verb. Don't make the mistake of matching the verb with 'fraud cases'.

Question :2

I answered (a)/ the questions (b)/ as best as (c)/ I could. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (e)

Though you may wonder how 'best' can be used in this form, it is a special usage that is correct; 'as best as' means 'as well as'.

Question :3

He was grateful (a)/ to me for the help (b)/ that I had extended for him (c)/ in the hour of his need. (d)/ No Error (e)

Answer: (c)

Help is extended 'to' someone, not 'for' someone.

Question :4

Her sympathetic nature (a)/ and ability of motivation of people (b)/ make her the best (c)/ of all the supervisors. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

Correct usage is 'ability to movitate people'.

Question :5

It took me (a)/ almost a hour (b)/ to fill the (c)/ application form. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

'Hour' should be preceded by 'an' as 'hour' is pronounced with a vowel sound.
