SSC CHSL 2020 Official Paper 21 (Held on: 5 Aug 2021 Shift 3)

Answer 1

The correct answer is 'some money'.

Key Points

The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
Here, 'some money' should be used instead of 'any money'.
We use 'some' for affirmative sentences, and 'any' for questions or negative sentences.
We know that both 'some' and 'any' can only be used with countable plural nouns or uncountable nouns.
- Example: She has some beautiful antique furniture.
Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 3.

Correct Sentence: I want to buy this book. Please give me some money.

Hinglish

दिया गया वाक्य व्याकरण की दृष्टि से गलत है।
यहां 'any money' के बजाय 'some money' का इस्तेमाल किया जाना चाहिए।
हम affirmative sentences के लिए 'some' और प्रश्नों या नकारात्मक वाक्यों के लिए 'any' का उपयोग करते हैं।
हम जानते हैं कि 'some' और 'any' दोनों का उपयोग केवल countable plural nouns या uncountable nouns के साथ किया जा सकता है।
- Example: She has some beautiful antique furniture.
इसलिए, ऊपर वर्णित बिंदुओं के अनुसार, हम पाते हैं कि सही उत्तर विकल्प 3 है।
