SSC CHSL 2019 · Question 36 of 100
Error Spotting
The correct answer is "to be as durable as" . Key Points In the given underlined segment, the use of "so durable as" is incorrect as " so...as " can only be used with negative like 'not'. We use not + so + adjective/adverb + as to make comparisons, meaning not to the same degree . In the first option, ' most ' is used which is not a comparative adjective but a superlative adjective . In the third option, ' very ' is not generally comparable. We can use ' very 'before superlative adjectives that end in -est. But we use as + adjective/adverb + as to make comparisons when the things we are comparing are equal in some way . Hence , the correct answer is option 4 . Correct Sentence : Lenovo has launched ThinkPad XI Fold, the world’s first foldable laptop which is claimed to be as durable as its other devices. Additional Information We can use " as...as " for both negative and positive , " so...as " can only be used with negative .
