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 :26

I am afraid (a)/ neither of them are coming (b)/ to attend the marriage reception (c)/ of my younger sister. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

With 'neither', meaning 'none of the two', only a singular verb should be used. So, 'is' coming, not 'are' coming.

Question :27

All of us are aware that (a)/ Shankar has been suffering (b) from fever since ten days (c)/ and has been resting. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (c)

Use 'for' , not 'since'.

Question :28

I came back to my mess (a)/ and to my delight (b)/ I found so many letters (c)/ are waiting for me. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (d)

The past continuous tense should be used in (d) part, as the verb here refers to an event that was in progress at the time something else happened (when I came back, I found 'letters were waiting'—the event that was in progress). Or, I found... 'letters waiting for me'.

Question :29

It was very unfortunate (a)/ that he was deprived (b)/ from the very thing (c)/ in which he delighted most. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (c)

Incorrect preposition is used. One is deprived 'of' something.

Question :30

Roopa very much resembles to (a)/ Laxmi in looks (b)/ as well as figure although (c)/ she is Laxmi's step-daughter. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (a)

One person simply 'resembles' another. 'Resembles' means 'looks like'. Some verbs like 'resembles' do not take 'to' after them.
