SSC CHSL Mock Test -10 - SSC CHSL MCQ

The error lies in part C.
The sentence uses the incorrect form ‘on'.

The sentence is suggesting that using institutions against opposition does not fare well for the office of the Prime Minister.

So using the preposition 'on' (in Part C) here does not make the sentence meaningful. The correct word here should be the conjunction 'or' which relates the Office of the Prime Minister with 'executive posts at the top'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

To augur- To fare, to be a sign or warning of something.
e.g. The current weather seems to augur a harsher winter. 

The error lies in part C.
The sentence uses the incorrect form ‘letter'.

The sentence uses the word to refer to a 'non-striker' which is the second thing of the two things mentioned in the previous part (first is the 'bowler').

When the sentence refers to two things at the same time, adjectives such as 'former' (first one) and 'latter' (the second one) are used.

Given the context, the correct word here should be 'latter' which basically means something which comes after something.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

The error lies in part B.
The sentence uses the incorrect form ‘verified'.

Since the sentence uses the preposition 'of' with the above-given word, it cannot be in its verb form 'verfied'. As it is used with a preposition, it should be in its noun form 'verification'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

The sentence has no grammatical errors.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

The sentence uses the form When, which is incorrect and needs improvement.

The context suggests that the underlined part should mean 'soon'. It shows two different time periods in the same sentence.

Since the sentence uses the adverb 'long' and the conjunction 'and', we cannot use 'when'.

Using the preposition 'before' makes the phrase 'before long', which means 'soon' or 'not long after' something.

The only alternative that improves the sentence is before.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

The sentence uses the form As you were, which is incorrect and needs improvement.

The sentence uses the singular simple past tense verb 'was' to refer to the first part of the sentence.

This means, it was the 'fact' that you were anxious to see your land; that 'was' known. 

The only alternative that improves the sentence is That you were.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

The sentence uses the form can be, which is incorrect and needs improvement.

The sentence uses the conditional conjunction 'if you had', showing that the second sentence is dependent on the conditional existence of the first.

The second sentence, then, must contain a verb that shows this conditional future outcome, if the thing given by the first sentence occurs.

This can only be given by a modal verb.

Should shows a duty, and shall shows a future tense which do not fit the context.

Only modal verb 'would' reflects the conditional future possibility. 

The only alternative that improves the sentence is Would have.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

The sentence suggests that the blank should contain an adverb, as it is used directly after the verb.
Given the context, the word should mean 'possibly'.

The only word that gives this meaning is 'perhaps'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

The sentence suggests that the blank should contain a preposition to be used with the main verb.

Given the context, the word should be 'on', making the verb phrase 'carrying on', meaning 'continuing something'.

The only word that gives this meaning is option 4.
Therefore, the correct answer is option  4.

The sentence suggests that the blank should contain an adjective, as it is used with the verb 'is'.
Given the context, the word should mean 'useful'.
The only word that gives this meaning is 'instructive'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

The rule when converting direct speech to indirect is to pay attention to each word and change it accordingly. Whenever there is a question in the sentence, the verb 'said' becomes 'asked' in reported speech.

In case of non wh-questions such as 'have you? or 'will you', which indicate a possibility of something happening, the conditional nature is shown by using 'if' after 'asked'.

The sentence contains the future tense verb 'will', which, in reported speech becomes 'would'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

The rule when converting direct speech to indirect is to pay attention to each word and change it accordingly. The verb 'said' becomes 'told' in reported speech. The phrase '(It is) Nice to meet you' does not use but intends the usage of 'it is'.  

So, when converting it to indirect speech, the simple present tense 'it is' would be changed to simple past tense 'It was'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

The sentence is in active voice thus in passive voice the object 'song' must be written before the subject 'boys' In active voice :
Subject+verb+object
In passive voice:
Object+verb+subject

The tense here is simple past thus 'was sung' is the correct verb to be used here. Option 4 is the correct answer. The other options use incorrect tenses or change the meaning of the sentence

In a conversion from active to passive voice, the subject and the object gets interchanged. In this context option 4 is correct grammatically and conceptually. Option 1 and 3 are grammatically incorrect and option 3 is not the right conversion.

In a conversion from active to passive voice, the subject and the object gets interchanged. In this context option 2 is the correct answer conceptually and grammatically. Options 1 and 3 are grammatically incorrect and option 4 is not right conversion.

The part Q talks about 'the great cultural movement', which must be associated with some specific movement, as shown by the use of article 'the'.

Now, the part P talks about something known as 'Enlightenment'. So, they must be connected.
So, QP is the correct order.

This order is only reflected by option 3, which gives the order RQPS.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

The first part of the sentence ends with the adjective 'indisputable', indicating that it must be associated with some noun.

So, the next part must begin with a noun. This is only shown by Q and S, which give the nouns 'fact' and 'England' respectively.

Given the context, only 'indisputable fact' is appropriate here.
So, Q must be the first part of the correct order.

Out of the given options, only option 4 begins with Q, with the order QRSP.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

Out of the given alternatives, only “In” makes grammatical sense in the context of the sentence. Since Into means expressing movement or action with the result that someone or something becomes enclosed or surrounded by something else. Inside refers to the inner side or surface of something and onto is the variant from of ‘on to’

From the given alternatives “transmitted” which is the past participle of transmit meaning to cause (something) to pass on from one person or place to another, is the correct answer. Since the sentence is framed in past tense transmitted makes grammatical sense in the context of the sentence.

From the given alternatives “preservable” is a wrong word. “Preserve” and “preserving” don’t make sense in the context of the statement and are therefore not the correct answers. So option 3 “preservation” is the correct answer.

From the given options “for” is correct answer as it makes grammatical sense in the context of the statement.

The words “femininity”, “feminine” and “woman” don’t fit the context of the statement and would be incorrect. So the correct answer is “females”.

V – 1 = U; S – 1 = R; F – 1 = E
