Choose the most suitable option to replace the underlined part of the sentence
She walked into the room with silent steps.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) silently
Concept (Defective Question: No Correct Option) SSC ने C (silently) को सही माना है, परंतु केवल 'with silent' ही रेखांकित है। silently से बदलने पर वाक्य 'She walked into the room silently steps' बन जाता है, जो गलत है, क्योंकि शेष noun steps का कोई विकल्प उसके साथ नहीं मेल खाता। यदि पूरा वाक्यांश 'with silent steps' रेखांकित होता, तो silently सही होता। अतः प्रश्न जैसा छपा है, वह त्रुटिपूर्ण है।
✓ सही वाक्य: She walked into the room silently. (या: She walked into the room with silent steps.)
SSC Key (c): SSC ने C को सही माना है, परंतु प्रश्न की संरचना दोषपूर्ण है।
Examiner का जाल यह है कि विकल्प C अपने आप में सही लगता है, परंतु शेष noun के साथ जुड़कर वाक्य अशुद्ध हो जाता है।
SSC Key (c) · Defective question — no option is fully correct
Concept (Defective Question: No Correct Option) SSC accepts C (silently), but only 'with silent' is underlined. Substituting silently gives 'She walked into the room silently steps', which is wrong, and no option fits the remaining noun steps. Had the whole phrase 'with silent steps' been underlined, silently would have been correct, so the question as printed is defective.
✓ Correct sentence She walked into the room silently. (or: She walked into the room with silent steps.)
Examiner's Trap Option C (silently) looks fine on its own, but joined to the remaining noun steps the sentence becomes ungrammatical.
