Practice Test: English Language - 14 - SSC CGL MCQ

The error is in part 2 of the sentence. The sentence is in past tense and therefore the verb 'find' is incorrectly used. The correct form of the verb 'find' would be 'found'.

The sentence has no error.

The sentence is predicting that the person concerned will not be able to attend a function the next day. Hence, it should be in the simple future tense.
As desired all the features are present in the given statement and it is grammatically correct too. 
The phrase 'to make it to ___' means to come somewhere. You use this to talk about attending events or meeting people.
Option 4 is correct as no further improvement to the sentence is required. 

The correct answer is 'who'. 'Who' is nominative and is used to refer to the subject. 'Whom' is objective and is used to refer to the object. The word 'whose' is possessive and is used to show belonging or association. The word 'which' is used for inanimate objects.
and in the given sentence you can see we are referring to a man who was on the continent so we are talking about the subject 
suppose the sentence is
The student, who  had lost miserably.
so in this we are talking about the student and not "you"
Example- This is Mr. Lee, who is the greatest martial art teacher of this era. But  Mr. Lee, whom you thought so highly of, has lost the fight.

The sentence seems to mean that the authorities apologized for the trouble it caused to passengers. Hence, the correct word to be used is 'inconvenience' and not 'inconsistency'.
Inconvenience means to cause trouble or problems whereas inconsistent means not to be regular.
Hence, the correct option is 2.

The correct answer is Option 1, i.e. 'Rate of growing'.
'Growing' should be replaced by 'growth'.
The structurally and meaningfully correct term is 'rate of growth'.

The correct answer is Option 1, i.e. 'Gang'.
'Gang' should be replaced by 'crew'.
As 'gang' is 'an organised group of criminals'.
and, 'crew' is 'a group of people who work on and operate a ship, aircraft, etc'
As 'sailors' is mentioned in the sentence so it is clear that 'ship' is involved. Hence, 'crew' is the correct term to be used here.

The word 'between' is used when two things or persons are being compared or depicted.
Example-I had to select between the two destinations for the vacation.
Thus, the statement should read as 'Kajal was sitting between Prachi and Isha at the party that night.'

Rule-The cause, reason and origin are followed by the preposition 'of'.
Example- Rohan comes of very rich family origin.
Thus the statement should read as 'Rajat died of a malarial fever while he was on a trip to the Amazon rainforest.' 

The word 'then' is incorrectly used. The correct phrase would be '... than I took a bath'. 'No sooner..than' is used when one action is immediately followed by another. 

The correct phrase would be 'one of my friends'. We always use a plural countable noun after 'one of'. This is because we are picking/choosing or talking about 'one' out of 'many'.

The given idiom means 'to go back to the starting point of something'. For example, '​The Government and the State Bank spent years strengthening the nation’s economy but the recession and slowdown shattered it, so we are back to square one.'

To 'bury the hatchet' is to 'end a fight'. Therefore, the correct meaning is 'make peace'.

'Working against the clock' means to do it as fast as possible and try to finish it before a certain time.
Option 4 is hence the correct option.
Example- The students worked against the clock to get their final presentation ready before the committee.

'Being a black rose' signifies being rare and precious. Thus, only option 2 shows the correct meaning of the phrase.
Example- The is an origami artist. Thus, he can be called the black rose of this form of art.

'Giving a slap on the wrist' denotes that a small or nominal punishment being given for a crime. Option 1 is thus the correct alternative.
Example- The teacher let the bully off with only a slap on the wrist. This motivated him to further continue his acts.

The correct answer is Option 1, i.e. 'To revive a quarrel, which was almost forgotten'.
'To rip up old sores' means 'to reopen a quarrel'.
Usage: Ripping up old sores leads to your own demolition.

The correct answer is Option 3, i.e. 'Good luck'.
'Break a leg' means 'Good luck'.
Usage: “Break a leg John, I’m sure your performance will be great.”

'All in the same boat' figuratively means that a group of people is facing the similar situations or difficulties. Option 4 represents this meaning correctly.
Example- At times of danger all humans seem to be in the same boat irrespective of divides.

The conjunction 'that' is always used between reporting verb and reported speech in indirect speech. From this reason, Options 2 and 3 are easily negated. Options 1 has used the conjunction 'that' but option 1 is grammatically incorrect as well.Hence, Option 4 is the only correct option.

The correct option is Option 1, i.e., ‘The team leader said that his team could win that tournament.’
In the sentence, the reporting verb is the past tense. Hence, the simple present tense changes to simple past tense, i.e., ‘can’ to ‘could’ and ‘this’ to ‘that’. Therefore, the correct option is Option 1.

Rule- If the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, the tense of the verb in the reported speech is not changed at all. 
Thus, as the tense of the sentence is present, it is to remain the same. Option 2 is correct.

A myth is 'widely held but false belief', so fact which means 'a thing which is proved to be true' is its antonym.

Story and falsehood expresses similar meaning to myth.

Hindrance is the opposite of Incentive. Thus, D is the answer.

Each has a singular meaning.
