Question

Find out which part of a sentence has an error.

After knowing truth, (a)/ they took the right decision (b)/ in the matter. (c)/ No error (d)

1. A. a (Correct answer)
2. B. b
3. C. c
4. D. d

Correct Answer

Option A — a

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is a.

Key Points

• Part (a), *"After knowing truth"*, is wrong: truth here refers to one specific, known fact, so it needs the definite article — *After knowing the truth*.
• Abstract nouns such as *truth, sky, weather, past* take the when they point to a particular instance rather than the idea in general.
• Parts (b) and (c) are grammatically sound: *they took the right decision* and *in the matter* are both correct.

Additional Information

• Compare: *Truth is stranger than fiction* (the abstract idea, no article) with *He finally told me the truth* (one specific fact, article required).
• Spotting-error questions in the JKSSB Constable paper almost always hinge on articles, prepositions, subject-verb agreement or tense — scan for those four first.
