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 (d). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.)

Question :26

This town isn't very well known (a)/ and there isn't much to see, (b)/ so a few tourists come here. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

In the context of the meaning of the sentence, 'few' meaning 'practically none' should replace 'a few' ('not many').

Question :27

One of my colleagues (a)/ is an expert in (b)/ the homeopathic system of treating illness. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (d)

No error. 'Illnesses' may also suit the context, especially if we are talking of specific illnesses considered together. But the sentence is cor- rect as it is.

Question :28

These items display (a)/ the (b)/ remarkable variety. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

'A' is the right article, and not 'the'. No specific kind of variety is emphasised.

Question :29

Teachers of various schools (a)/ met to discuss about (b)/ how to improve the standard of English. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

With 'discuss', 'about' should not be used when 'how' is mentioned. (Note that 'Teachers of various schools discussed about ways to improve the standard of English' would also be correct.)

Question :30

The accelerating pace of life in our metropolitan city (a)/ has had the tremendous effect (b)/ on the culture and lifestyle of the people. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

The article 'a', not 'the', should be used before 'tremendous effect'. If 'tremendous effect' is followed by 'of ...', 'the' would be suitable.
