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 :11

Ganesh, who has been (a)/ driving all day, (b)/ was extremely tired (c)/ and wanted to stop. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (a)

Past perfect continuous tense should be used instead of present perfect continuous tense— ' had been driving' should replace ' has been driving'.

Question :12

We build the roof (a)/ with a steep slope (b)/ so that the rain water could (c)/ slide off easily. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (a)

As 'could' is the past tense form of 'can', 'build' should be changed to 'built'. Alternatively, 'build' can be retained while 'could' is changed to 'can'.

Question :13

As I reached the hospital, (a)/ I had found a great rush of visitors (b)/ whose relatives had been admitted there (c)/ for one or the other ailment. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

Use of past perfect tense ('had found') is wrong. When he reached the hospital, he 'found' (not 'had found') a lot of visitors whose relatives had already been admitted in the hospital.

Question :14

Scarcely had we (a)/ alighted from the train (b)/ than it began (c)/ to rain cats and dogs. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (c)

'Scarcely' is followed by 'when' and not 'than'.

Question :15

If I had realised (a)/ what a bad teacher you are, (b)/ I would not have come (c)/ to you for any guidance. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

It should be the past tense verb 'were' and not 'are' because the action referred to is already over.
