SSC Selection Post Phase 1324 Jul 2025Shift 3Subjunctive Mood

Identify the segment in the sentence which contains an error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

The manager insisted that / every member completes / the survey before / the deadline expired.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (B) every member completes

प्रबंधक कोई तथ्य नहीं बता रहा; वह माँग कर रहा है कि हर सदस्य सर्वे पूरा करे। Insisted that के बाद कर्ता (Subject) कोई भी हो, base form आती है, इसलिए completes के स्थान पर complete (या should complete) आएगा।
✓
The manager insisted that every member should complete the survey before the deadline expired.
सरल अर्थ: प्रबंधक ने ज़ोर दिया कि समय-सीमा समाप्त होने से पहले हर सदस्य सर्वे पूरा करे।
The manager is not stating a fact; he is demanding that every member finish the survey. Insisted that takes the base form, whatever the subject, so completes becomes complete (or should complete).
✓
The manager insisted that every member should complete the survey before the deadline expired.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'insisted on' का स्मरण होने से 'The manager insisted that' संदिग्ध लगा। परंतु 'insisted that' उचित है। त्रुटि 'completes' में है, जिसे base form चाहिए।'The manager insisted that' looked doubtful, as 'insisted on' may come to mind; but 'insisted that' is correct. The error is 'completes', which needs the base form.
C'the survey before' अधूरा लगा। परंतु यह 'the deadline' से जुड़ता है, इसलिए उचित है। त्रुटि 'every member completes' में है।'the survey before' looked incomplete; but it runs on into 'the deadline', so it is fine. The error is 'every member completes'.
D'expires' अपेक्षित लगा, इसलिए 'the deadline expired.' संदिग्ध लगा। परंतु 'before the deadline expired' स्वीकार्य है। त्रुटि 'completes' में है।'the deadline expired.' looked doubtful, as 'expires' may seem needed; but 'before the deadline expired' is acceptable. The error is 'completes'.
