SSC CHSL 2019 · Question 87 of 100
Error Spotting
The correct answer is "in every my cupboard" . Key Points In the given sentence, the singular noun 'cupboard' is incorrect and thus the use of the determiner 'every' is also incorrect . The determiner ' every ' refers to multiple numbers of people or items, but it considers these people or items as part of a similar collective group. ' Every ' can only be followed by a plural noun when there is a number before that noun . ' Each ' refers to a plural number of people or items, but it considers each person or item as an individual or dissimilar unit, it does not consider the group collectively. ' Each ' can be followed by a determiner (my , his, the, etc.) and a plural noun . The format is Each of + determiner (here, my) + plural noun (here, cupboards) . Hence , the correct answer is option 1 . Correct Sentence : Yesterday I searched in each of my cupboards for the shirt I couldn’t find .
