SSC CGL 2021 Tier-I (Held On : 13 April 2022 Shift 1)

Answer 1

The correct answer is 'besides'.

Key Points

The underlined part in the given is grammatically incorrect.
The word 'beyond' means "at or to the further side of something" (किसी चीज के आगे).
Here, 'besides' should be used instead of 'beyond'.
The word 'besides' means 'in addition to or as well as somebody/something; also'. (के अतिरिक्त, के साथ; भी)
- Example: There will be six people coming, besides you and Raj.

Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.

Correct Sentence: The old lady needed love and care besides money.

Additional Information

No substitution required: Incorrect as the original phrase is less clear and not as idiomatic.
beneath: Incorrect, as it implies a hierarchy or level, inappropriate for the context.
beside: Incorrect, as it usually means 'next to' or 'alongside,' which doesn’t fit the context.
