sentence improvement Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ssc mts paper 1 2023

Directions:

In each of the following sentences, a part of the sentence has been italicised. Below are given alternatives to the part italicised which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. Wherever no improvement is needed, choose 'No correction required' or 'No improvement' as the answer.

Question :1

He dislikes the word dislike, isn't he?

Answer: (a)

If there is an auxiliary verb in the statement, it is repeated in the question tag: He 'is' a wonderful man, 'isn't' he? She 'has' a fine voice, 'hasn't' she? They 'can' do it, 'can't' they? But for verbs other than the auxiliaries, the correct form of 'do' is used: She started working yesterday, 'didn't' she? The children play in the morning, 'don't' they?

Question :2

What does agonise me most is not this criticism, but the trivial reason behind it.

Answer: (d)

The sentence is correct because 'does' is used to emphasise the verb 'agonise'.

Question :3

His trousers are three sizes large.

Answer: (c)

The phrase conveys the meaning that the trousers were larger than required by three sizes.

Question :4

The brochure, which is being enclosed with the application form, will give you information that you need.

Answer: (a)

'The information' is preferable because the reference is to some specific information 'you need', and not any information.

Question :5

Please remind me of posting these letters to my relatives.

Answer: (a)

This is so because a continuous tense is not necessary. A verb accompanying the infinitive 'to' is correct.
