FREE MOCK TEST FOR SSC STENOGRAPHER
Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (B)
The sentence in the question says that the new inner ring road is something good to the commuters as it is estimated to reduce travelling times.
But the word “bane” means “a cause of great distress or annoyance” which is not in line with the meaning of the sentence.
The right word to be used is “boon” instead of “bane” in the second part of the sentence as the word “boon” means “a thing that is helpful or beneficial”.
2) Answer (D)
“gentes” means a group of families who share a name and claimed a common origin.
The sentence says that, “… upon something but upon something else”
So the fourth part should instead be “upon common gentes”.
3) Answer (E)
No error
4) Answer (B)
The article “the” is missing before meat in the second part. The word meat should be preceded by the article “the” here because here the word “meat” is the noun which is the subject of the sentence.
5) Answer (C)
The third part must be “was too weak an organization” because it is used to describe the struggle it faced in the fourth part.
The phrase “too strong to face alone the struggle of life” is meaningless.
6) Answer (D)
There is an article error in the fourth part of the sentence. The article “a” is only used with countable nouns. Thus, the usage along with an uncountable noun “development” is incorrect. The correct usage is “the development of newspaper ..”.
7) Answer (A)
The tense used in the first part of the sentence is incorrect. The correct usage should be “Prime Minister John Key surveyed the damage…”
8) Answer (A)
There is a subject-verb disagreement in the first part of the sentence. The correct usage is “ Sensors allow robots…”
9) Answer (E)
The sentence is grammatically correct.
10) Answer (D)
There is a pronoun error in the fourth part of the sentence. The correct usage is “as they have been in ….”
11) Answer (A)
This sentence contains a pronoun error. ‘Their’ is incorrectly used in the place of ‘there’. There is used when we need to show possession. There means in or at a place.
The correct sentence should read ‘For the 2016 election, THERE were many competing election forecast approaches including Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight, The Upshot at The New York Times and Princeton Election Consortium.’
12) Answer (E)
The sentence is grammatically correct.
13) Answer (A)
In this sentence, the placement of adverb ‘simply’ is incorrect. The correct sentence should read ‘Common cold, also known simply as a cold, is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that primarily affects the nose.’
14) Answer (A)
The use of article ‘an’ before universal is incorrect. The sound, that ‘universal’ produces, starts with ‘yu’ which resembles that of a consonant. Thus, the correct article that should be used here is ‘a’.
15) Answer (B)
This sentence has an error of subject-verb agreement. The group of dancers is a singular noun. Thus, the singular verb ‘was’ should be used.
The correct sentence should read ‘The group of dancers, who performed at this year’s National meet, was nowhere nearly as good as the group of dancers who performed last year at the same event.’
16) Answer (A)
The use of article ‘the’ is necessary before mountain ranges. The correct sentence should read ‘The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain.’
17) Answer (D)
The sentence misses the article ‘a’ before pair of pads. The correct sentence should read ‘He looked the embodiment of India’s famous opener, Gavaskar, and indeed was wearing a pair of his pads (4).’
18) Answer (A)
The use of past perfect tense is incorrect in the sentence. The correct sentence should read ‘The head coach has decided that the captain should employ aggressive approach in the next fixture.’
19) Answer (D)
This sentence has subject-verb disagreement. The number of road accidents is a singular noun. Thus, the use of the verb ‘are’ is incorrect. The correct sentence should read ‘The number of road accidents in this part of the country is on the rise.’
20) Answer (E)
The sentence is grammatically correct and requires no further amendments.
21) Answer (D)
“it’s” means ‘it is’ which is incorrect in the sentence. The correct sentence should read ‘Damascus has barely been touched by historians, since the modern city occupies its ancient site.’
22) Answer (D)
This sentence contains a preposition error. The phrase ‘years at prison’ is incorrect. The correct preposition to be used here is ‘in’. The correct sentence should read “Without Nehru’s unifying persona, the Indian National Congress began to fall apart during his years in prison.”
23) Answer (B)
Affect means to influence something while effect is the influence of something. From the context we can understand that persistent sleepiness affects the ability to function. Thus, effect should be replaced by ‘affect’. B is the correct answer.
24) Answer (E)
The sentence is grammatically correct and requires no further amendments.
25) Answer (C)
‘Ratio’ is a singular quantity and thus requires a singular verb ‘has’. Thus, part 3 is incorrect.
