spotting error Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ssc chsl 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 (d). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.)

Question :26

As he was a destitute, (a)/ I admitted him (b)/ to an old people's home. (c)/ No error

Answer: (b)

The part should read 'I got him admitted'.

Question :27

He could not plan his strategy (a)/ until he knew (b)/ whom his opponents could be. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

'Who' is correct and not 'whom'. 'Who' refers to the subject (the persons who were the opponents).

Question :28

It is the duty of every right thinking citizen (a)/ to try and make the whole world (b)/ a happier place to live. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

The preposition 'in' has to be placed at the end. 'Live' cannot stand alone as the last word; the sentence should end with 'live in' ('live in' or 'reside in' a happier place, not 'live' a happier place).

Question :29

May I (a)/ know who you want (b)/ to see please. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

'Whom', which is in the objective case, should replace 'who' which is in the subjective case. 'Whom' is the object of the verb here (want to see 'whom'?).

Question :30

This watch (a)/ is superior and (b)/ more expensive than that. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

When two adjectives are used and they take different prepositions, both the prepositions must be used. So with 'superior', there has to be a 'to'—'superior to' and more 'expensive than' .
