Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
She conversed the matter with me.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is
discussed the matter with

To select the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence "She conversed the matter with me", we first need to determine the correct usage of the verb that completes the intended meaning of the sentence.

  • The highlighted phrase "conversed the matter" is not grammatically correct because "conversed" typically requires a direct object referring to the people involved in the conversation, not the topic.
  • We need a verb that appropriately describes the action of engaging in a specific communication about a subject matter.

Let's evaluate each option:

  1. discussed the matter with: This option uses the verb "discussed," which is appropriate for conversations focusing on a specific topic. The phrase "discussed the matter with" correctly implies talking about a particular subject with another person, making this option the most suitable.
  2. talked over the matter with: While this option is nearly correct, "talked over" can sometimes imply a less formal or thorough conversation. It can be used, but it might not convey the depth or formality that "discussed" implies.
  3. told the matter to: This option uses "told," which is typically used when passing information rather than engaging in a two-way interaction about a subject. It lacks the mutual exchange implied in discussing a matter with someone.
  4. said me about the matter: This option is grammatically incorrect. The correct form would have been "told me about the matter," but even then, it fails to imply the discussion aspect, focusing instead on information transfer.

Based on these evaluations, the most grammatically and contextually correct choice is "discussed the matter with."
