Solutions :-
Sol.5.(d) return your notes by
Preposition ‘by’ is used to indicate a deadline or a speci?c time
before which the action will be completed. The given sentence
states that the notes will be returned by evening. Hence, ‘return
your notes by’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.6.(b) resembles
The verb ‘resembles’ does not take the preposition ‘to’ after it.
Hence, ‘resembles’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.7.(d) which can signi?cantly enhance
The given sentence needs an adverb(signi?cantly) to modify the
verb (enhance) and not an adjective (signi?cant). Hence, ‘which
can signi?cantly enhance’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.8.(c) so far from
‘From’ is used with ‘receive’ to indicate the source destination or
sender. In the given sentence, ‘the main island’ is the source
destination from which no information has been received so far.
Hence, ‘so far from’ is the most appropriate answer.

‘Be beside oneself’ is a phrase which means to be in an
extremely emotional state. The given sentence states that the
person was in an extreme state of anger. Hence, option (a) is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.10.(b) is married to
‘To’ is used after the verb ‘married’ in the passive voice. Hence,
'is married to' is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.11.(d) come a long way
The phrase ‘come a long way’ means to make signi?cant
progress or improvement. The given sentence states that
Sherpas have prospered and made signi?cant progress from
being just porters to becoming mountaineers. Hence, ‘come a
long way’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.12.(b) don’t you?
According to the “Question Tag rule”, if the statement is positive,
the question tag will be negative & Vice-versa. However, the
sentence and the question tag must be in the same tense.
Similarly, the given sentence is positive so the question tag will
be negative(don’t). Hence, ‘don’t you?’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.13.(d) returned to school
If two or more verbs are of the same tense then the helping verb
is written only once before the ?rst verb. In the given sentence,
‘will have’ is a helping verb of future perfect tense and has been
used for both verbs (‘completed’ and ‘returned’). Hence, ‘returned
to school’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.14.(d) will be taking a ?ight
‘Will be / shall be + V
ing
’ is the correct grammatical structure of
Future continuous tense. Hence, ‘will be taking (V
ing
) a ?ight’ is
the most appropriate answer.
Sol.15.(a) have been ordered to ?ee
‘Subject + has/have + been + V
3
’ is the correct grammatical
structure for passive voice of Present perfect tense. ‘Ordered’ is
the correct third form of ‘order’. Hence, ‘have been ordered(V
3
) to
?ee’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol. 16 .(c) ought to be kept under
Passive voice is used when the action is performed upon the
subject, not by the subject. ‘Ought to + be + V
3
’ is the correct
passive form. Hence, ‘ought to be kept(V
3
) under’ is the most
appropriate answer.

SSC CHSL Tier II (02/11/2023)

Solutions :-
Sol.1.(c) call around
The phrasal verb ‘call around’ means to phone different people
or places. The given sentence states that I decided to make
phone calls to various bookstores in the area to see if any of
them had the book I needed. Hence, ‘call around’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.2.(d) This lesser known heritage building is as much
beautiful as the Red Fort.
‘So…as’ is used with ‘not’ to show that two things are not equal.
‘As…as’ or ‘As much… as’ is used to show that two things are
equal in certain respects. According to option (d), the lesser
known building and the Red fort are equally beautiful. Hence,
option (d) has the correct sentence.
Sol.3.(d) the laws pertaining
Article ‘a’ must be replaced with ‘the’. The ‘laws’ mentioned in the
given sentence are speci?c and we generally use the de?nite
article ‘the’ before any speci?c or particular noun. Hence, ‘the
laws pertaining’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.4.(d) An innovative
‘More’ must be removed as there is no comparison in this
sentence. Article ‘a’ must be replaced with article ‘an’ as we use
‘an’ before words starting with a vowel sound (an apple, an
umbrella, an MBA). Hence, ‘an innovative’ is the most
appropriate answer.

Solutions :-
Sol.5.(d) return your notes by
Preposition ‘by’ is used to indicate a deadline or a speci?c time
before which the action will be completed. The given sentence
states that the notes will be returned by evening. Hence, ‘return
your notes by’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.6.(b) resembles
The verb ‘resembles’ does not take the preposition ‘to’ after it.
Hence, ‘resembles’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.7.(d) which can signi?cantly enhance
The given sentence needs an adverb(signi?cantly) to modify the
verb (enhance) and not an adjective (signi?cant). Hence, ‘which
can signi?cantly enhance’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.8.(c) so far from
‘From’ is used with ‘receive’ to indicate the source destination or
sender. In the given sentence, ‘the main island’ is the source
destination from which no information has been received so far.
Hence, ‘so far from’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.9.(a) No improvement
‘Be beside oneself’ is a phrase which means to be in an
extremely emotional state. The given sentence states that the
person was in an extreme state of anger. Hence, option (a) is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.10.(b) is married to
‘To’ is used after the verb ‘married’ in the passive voice. Hence,
'is married to' is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.11.(d) come a long way
The phrase ‘come a long way’ means to make signi?cant
progress or improvement. The given sentence states that
Sherpas have prospered and made signi?cant progress from
being just porters to becoming mountaineers. Hence, ‘come a
long way’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.12.(b) don’t you?
According to the “Question Tag rule”, if the statement is positive,
the question tag will be negative & Vice-versa. However, the
sentence and the question tag must be in the same tense.
Similarly, the given sentence is positive so the question tag will
be negative(don’t). Hence, ‘don’t you?’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.13.(d) returned to school
If two or more verbs are of the same tense then the helping verb
is written only once before the ?rst verb. In the given sentence,
‘will have’ is a helping verb of future perfect tense and has been
used for both verbs (‘completed’ and ‘returned’). Hence, ‘returned
to school’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.14.(d) will be taking a ?ight
‘Will be / shall be + V
ing
’ is the correct grammatical structure of
Future continuous tense. Hence, ‘will be taking (V
ing
) a ?ight’ is
the most appropriate answer.
Sol.15.(a) have been ordered to ?ee
‘Subject + has/have + been + V
3
’ is the correct grammatical
structure for passive voice of Present perfect tense. ‘Ordered’ is
the correct third form of ‘order’. Hence, ‘have been ordered(V
3
) to
?ee’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol. 16 .(c) ought to be kept under
Passive voice is used when the action is performed upon the
subject, not by the subject. ‘Ought to + be + V
3
’ is the correct
passive form. Hence, ‘ought to be kept(V
3
) under’ is the most
appropriate answer.

(a) very more (b) more (c) the more (d) the most
Solutions :-
Sol.17.(b) most challenging
De?nite article ‘the’ is used for a speci?c or particular thing and
before a superlative degree adjective. ‘Most challenging’ is the
correct superlative degree of ‘challenging’. Hence, ‘most
challenging’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.18.(d) wise
‘Very’ is a positive adverb and takes a positive degree adjective
after it. Hence, ‘wise’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.19.(b) a universal
There are some adjectives that can not be written in
comparative or superlative degree. These adjectives are called
absolute or non-gradable adjectives. Some examples are
universal, absolute, complete, perfect, empty, full, etc. Hence, ‘a
universal’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.20.(b) more
If two or more adjectives are joined with a conjunction, these
adjectives are written in the same degree. In the given sentence,
‘and’ joins two adjectives, out of which one is comparative
degree(taller). Therefore, the second adjective will also be

(d) says delectable things at different times
Solutions :-
Sol.21.(d) were seen
According to the “Subject-Verb Agreement Rule”, a singular
subject always takes a singular verb and a plural subject always
takes a plural verb. In the given sentence, ‘lots of kids’ is a plural
subject that will take ‘were’ as a plural verb. Hence, ‘were seen’ is
the most appropriate answer.
Sol.22.(d) The usage of chemicals, insecticides and pesticides
‘Use’ means the act of utilizing something for a speci?c purpose
while ‘Usage’ means the customary or habitual manner in which
something is utilized. Hence, ‘The usage of chemicals,
insecticides and pesticides’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.23.(c) than
‘Than’ is used to compare the qualities between two things. In
the given sentence, her paintings are being compared to her
sketches. Hence, ‘than’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.24.(c) There are three cars parked outside: a Mercedes, a
Jaguar and a Fiat.(Correct)
(a) There are three cars parked outside: a Mercedes, an Jaguar
and an Fiat .(Incorrect Article)
(b) There are three cars parked outside: an Mercedes , a Jaguar
and a Fiat.(Incorrect Article)
(d) There are three cars parked outside: a Mercedes, an Jaguar
and a Fiat.(Incorrect Article)
Sol.25.(a) more fast than smart
When there is a comparison between two qualities of a single
person or thing, we do not use normal comparative degree. E.g.-
more smart than beautiful(not ‘smarter than beautiful’). Similarly,
the given sentence compares two qualities, ‘fast’ and ‘smart’.
Hence, ‘more fast and smart’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.26.(c) most
“One of the + Superlative degree adjective + Plural Subject” is
grammatically the correct structure. For example, one of the
best men, one of the greatest kings, one of the worst phones,
etc. Hence, ‘most’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.27.(b) stabbed her in the back
‘Stabbed her in the back’ is the correct idiom that means to be
unfaithful or disloyal to. The given sentence states that she
trusted her husband but he was unfaithful to her when he
usurped her inheritance. Hence, ‘stabbed her in the back’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.28.(b) to watch
We generally use an in?nitive(V
1
) with the preposition ‘to’. Hence,
‘to watch’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.29.(b) No substitution.
The given sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.30.(d) far from the capital city of MP , Bhopal
‘Far’ means situated at a distance or away from a place. Hence,
‘far from the capital city of MP , Bhopal’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.31.(b) doubtful of
‘Of’ is a ?xed preposition used after the word ‘doubtful’. Hence,
‘doubtful of’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.32.(a) in
‘In’ is used to indicate the location or position of an object or a
person. Similarly, in the given sentence, ‘corner’ is the position of
Harry. Hence, ‘in’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.33.(c) Vituperated - censured with harsh and abusive
language.
Sol.34.(c) thinking about applying
‘Am’ is a helping verb of Present Continuous Tense and
‘is/am/are + V
ing
’ is the correct grammatical structure. ‘About’ is
used to introduce the topic or subject of discussion or
consideration. Also, we always use a gerund (V
ing
) after a
preposition. Hence, ‘thinking(V
ing
) about applying(V
ing
)’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.35.(d) well
The given sentence needs an adverb(well) to modify the
meaning of the verb ‘does’, not an adjective(good). Hence, ‘well’
is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.36.(d) peace
‘Piece’ means a portion of an object or a material while ‘peace’
means a state of being calm and free from any kind of worry or
disturbance.The word ‘peace’ makes the sentence meaningful.
Hence, ‘peace’ is the most appropriate answer.

by using a small number of labourers. Hence, ‘by using limited
labour’ is the most appropriate answer.

‘In’ is used after the word ‘con?dent’ to show the speci?c area or
subject in which someone is con?dent. Hence, ‘con?dent in
speaking’ is the most appropriate answer.

Sol.1.(c) call around
The phrasal verb ‘call around’ means to phone different people
or places. The given sentence states that I decided to make
phone calls to various bookstores in the area to see if any of
them had the book I needed. Hence, ‘call around’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.2.(d) This lesser known heritage building is as much
beautiful as the Red Fort.
‘So…as’ is used with ‘not’ to show that two things are not equal.
‘As…as’ or ‘As much… as’ is used to show that two things are
equal in certain respects. According to option (d), the lesser
known building and the Red fort are equally beautiful. Hence,
option (d) has the correct sentence.
Sol.3.(d) the laws pertaining
Article ‘a’ must be replaced with ‘the’. The ‘laws’ mentioned in the
given sentence are speci?c and we generally use the de?nite
article ‘the’ before any speci?c or particular noun. Hence, ‘the
laws pertaining’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.4.(d) An innovative
‘More’ must be removed as there is no comparison in this
sentence. Article ‘a’ must be replaced with article ‘an’ as we use
‘an’ before words starting with a vowel sound (an apple, an

appropriate answer.

Solutions :-
Sol.5.(d) return your notes by
Preposition ‘by’ is used to indicate a deadline or a speci?c time
before which the action will be completed. The given sentence
states that the notes will be returned by evening. Hence, ‘return
your notes by’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.6.(b) resembles
The verb ‘resembles’ does not take the preposition ‘to’ after it.
Hence, ‘resembles’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.7.(d) which can signi?cantly enhance
The given sentence needs an adverb(signi?cantly) to modify the
verb (enhance) and not an adjective (signi?cant). Hence, ‘which
can signi?cantly enhance’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.8.(c) so far from
‘From’ is used with ‘receive’ to indicate the source destination or
sender. In the given sentence, ‘the main island’ is the source
destination from which no information has been received so far.
Hence, ‘so far from’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.9.(a) No improvement
‘Be beside oneself’ is a phrase which means to be in an
extremely emotional state. The given sentence states that the
person was in an extreme state of anger. Hence, option (a) is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.10.(b) is married to
‘To’ is used after the verb ‘married’ in the passive voice. Hence,
'is married to' is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.11.(d) come a long way
The phrase ‘come a long way’ means to make signi?cant
progress or improvement. The given sentence states that
Sherpas have prospered and made signi?cant progress from
being just porters to becoming mountaineers. Hence, ‘come a
long way’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.12.(b) don’t you?
According to the “Question Tag rule”, if the statement is positive,
the question tag will be negative & Vice-versa. However, the
sentence and the question tag must be in the same tense.
Similarly, the given sentence is positive so the question tag will
be negative(don’t). Hence, ‘don’t you?’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.13.(d) returned to school
If two or more verbs are of the same tense then the helping verb
is written only once before the ?rst verb. In the given sentence,
‘will have’ is a helping verb of future perfect tense and has been
used for both verbs (‘completed’ and ‘returned’). Hence, ‘returned
to school’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.14.(d) will be taking a ?ight
‘Will be / shall be + V
ing
’ is the correct grammatical structure of
Future continuous tense. Hence, ‘will be taking (V
ing
) a ?ight’ is
the most appropriate answer.
Sol.15.(a) have been ordered to ?ee
‘Subject + has/have + been + V
3
’ is the correct grammatical
structure for passive voice of Present perfect tense. ‘Ordered’ is
the correct third form of ‘order’. Hence, ‘have been ordered(V
3
) to
?ee’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol. 16 .(c) ought to be kept under
Passive voice is used when the action is performed upon the
subject, not by the subject. ‘Ought to + be + V
3
’ is the correct
passive form. Hence, ‘ought to be kept(V
3
) under’ is the most
appropriate answer.

universal, absolute, complete, perfect, empty, full, etc. Hence, ‘a
universal’ is the most appropriate answer.

adjectives are written in the same degree. In the given sentence,
‘and’ joins two adjectives, out of which one is comparative

Solutions :-
Sol.21.(d) were seen
According to the “Subject-Verb Agreement Rule”, a singular
subject always takes a singular verb and a plural subject always
takes a plural verb. In the given sentence, ‘lots of kids’ is a plural
subject that will take ‘were’ as a plural verb. Hence, ‘were seen’ is
the most appropriate answer.
Sol.22.(d) The usage of chemicals, insecticides and pesticides
‘Use’ means the act of utilizing something for a speci?c purpose
while ‘Usage’ means the customary or habitual manner in which
something is utilized. Hence, ‘The usage of chemicals,
insecticides and pesticides’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.23.(c) than
‘Than’ is used to compare the qualities between two things. In

and a Fiat.(Incorrect Article)
Sol.25.(a) more fast than smart
When there is a comparison between two qualities of a single
person or thing, we do not use normal comparative degree. E.g.-
more smart than beautiful(not ‘smarter than beautiful’). Similarly,
the given sentence compares two qualities, ‘fast’ and ‘smart’.
Hence, ‘more fast and smart’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.26.(c) most

best men, one of the greatest kings, one of the worst phones,
etc. Hence, ‘most’ is the most appropriate answer.

‘Am’ is a helping verb of Present Continuous Tense and

ing
’ is the correct grammatical structure. ‘About’ is
used to introduce the topic or subject of discussion or
consideration. Also, we always use a gerund (V
ing
) after a
preposition. Hence, ‘thinking(V
ing
) about applying(V
ing
)’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.35.(d) well
The given sentence needs an adverb(well) to modify the
meaning of the verb ‘does’, not an adjective(good). Hence, ‘well’
is the most appropriate answer.
