SSC Stenographer 2025 Question Paper (06-Aug-2025) Shift 2
The correct answer is

the Earth is round

The given sentence is: "According to the teacher, the Earth is revolving." The task is to select the most appropriate option to replace the bolded part of the sentence. Let's analyze the options:

  1. Spoke that the Earth is round: This option is grammatically incorrect because "spoke" is not used directly with "that" in reported speech.
  2. Said that the Earth is round: While grammatically correct, it does not fit the sentence structure as it suggests incorrect context merging with "According to the teacher".
  3. Told that the earth was round: The verb "told" requires an object (e.g., told me/us). Additionally, there is a tense discrepancy as the original sentence is in the present tense.
  4. The Earth is round: This option correctly completes the sentence by stating a general scientific fact. It aligns well with the structure and meaning of the sentence "According to the teacher, the Earth is round."

Thus, the most appropriate option is "the Earth is round", as it accurately conveys the intended message without grammatical or contextual errors.
