spotting errors Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ssc mts paper 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

He pulled his lips together, (a)/ close his eyes (b)/ and I watched the first teardrop (c)/ fall down the side of his cheek. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

Use 'closed', not 'close'. The past tense verb should be used throughout.

Question :2

All the doctors were (a)/ puzzled on the (b)/ strange symptoms (c)/ reported by the patient. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

The correct preposition is to be used. One is puzzled 'by' something, and not 'on' it.

Question :3

He has been working on (a)/ the problem from a long time (b)/ but is still not (c)/ able to solve it. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

The correct preposition is to be used. We work on something 'for' some time.

Question :4

Whatever be the work (a)/ that which you undertake (b)/ put your best efforts (c)/ in it. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

'That which' is redundant; simply 'that' will do.

Question :5

Nobody knew (a)/ where I spend my day (b)/ and nobody really (c)/ seemed to care. (d)/No error (e)

Answer: (b)

Past perfect tense form of the verb—'had spent'—should be used. At the time that nobody knew, the other action—that of spending my day—had already happened.
