conjunction like "and" or a preposition like "and other objects" to properly link the two ideas.

"Scientists have a few tricks up their sleeves for dealing with the universe and other objects."

to show possession (the music belonging to today).

34. Here, the word “only” is misplaced. It should be placed after “discussed” to lay stress on the
noun “the new venture”.

35. Use ‘in’ in place of ‘interior’.

'Interior' here is an adjective that is not qualifying any noun. Hence, we need an adverb here to tell
the place where he puts the birds.

36. Use adverb ‘fundamentally’ in place of adjective ‘fundamental’.

37. Use ‘professionally’ in place of ‘professional’.

38. Use ‘enough hope’ in place of ‘hope enough’.

40. ‘Always’ will be used after ‘we’ hence replace ‘always we’ with ‘we always’.

41. Use adverb ‘especially’ in place of adjective ‘especial’.

42. Use ‘still’ in place of ‘yet’.

43. Use ‘can hardly’ in place of ‘can’t hardly’ because ‘hardly’ is a negative word.

44. Use ‘aboard’ in place of ‘abroad’.

45. Use ‘where’ in place of ‘when’.

46. Use ‘quite’ in place of ‘quiet’.

Quiet- making little or no noise, Quite-completely

47. Use ‘fearlessly’ in place of ‘fearless’ because here we need an adverb.

48. Use ‘any’ in place of ‘many’.

49. Use ‘much too’ in place of ‘too much’.

50. Use ‘as’ in place of ‘like’.

51. Use ‘much too’ in place of ‘too much’.

(SSC CGL Tier I Exam 16.08.2015 (IInd Sitting))

SUPERFLUOUS SOLUTION
1. Remove ‘more than’ because ‘exceed’ and ‘more than’ have the same meaning.

2. Either use ‘supposing’ or ‘if’ because both have the same meaning.

3. Distinguish- to recognize the difference between things.

Hence ‘between differences’ is superfluous.

4. Either use ‘just’ or ‘exactly’ because both have the same meaning.

5. Return-to come or go back.

Hence use of ‘back’ makes it superfluous.

6. ‘back’ means ‘rear side’ hence use of ‘side’ is superfluous.

7. ‘In person’ means ‘by meeting with someone rather than talking on the phone, e-mailing, or
writing to the person’

Hence ‘meeting’ and ‘In person’ together become superfluous.

8. Return-to come or go back.

Hence use of ‘back’ makes it superfluous.

9. Return-to come or go back.

Hence use of ‘back’ makes it superfluous.

10. Use ‘at the same time’ because ‘same’ with ‘usual’ becomes superfluous.

11. Return-to come or go back.

Hence use of ‘back’ makes it superfluous.

12. Here use of ‘all’ is superfluous.

13. Here use of ‘special’ is superfluous.

14. Remove ‘they’.

15. Return-to come or go back.

Hence use of ‘back’ makes it superfluous.

16. Use of ‘I enjoy’ in second part is superfluous.

17. Use of ‘never’ with ‘not’ is superfluous, hence use ‘will never forget’.

18. ‘very’ and ‘enough’ together make the sentence superfluous, hence remove very.

19. Use of ‘going’ with ‘underway’ is superfluous.

Hence the correct sentence is ‘A study is underway…’
