Author's acknowledgments:
I am grateful to all the people who helped me with the preparation of this
book. I owe a particular debt to my family especially to my wife who sup-
ported me wholeheartedly in this endeavor. I am equally indebted to my best
friend, Rudra, who manages almost everything. I wouldn't have even thought
of it without the support extended by Vikramjeet Sir who has been as sup-
portive as my elder brother. This section will remain incomplete without the
mention of the names of my team members, Satyendra, Satyam, Subodh,
Ashish, Nikhil, Ahmad and others. I'd also like to express my gratitude to
some of my students, Mitali, Anjali, Hitika, Doli and Sanjib who, despite not
being part of my content team, burnt the midnight oil to complete the proof
reading on time. I'm also indebted to my typists, Sunil Yadav in particular,
who really worked hard.
I would also like to thank my students who actually motivated me to write it.

PREFACE
This book is a gift to all the learners who not only want to learn new things but also
want to learn them conceptually. As we all know that a good knowledge of the con-
cepts asked in previous year questions is integral to the preparation of any exam
especially SSC exams. However, hardly any book provides detailed analysis of previ-
ous year questions. This book provides detailed analysis of all 21 sets of SSC CHSL
2021. This book is crafted fastidiously, and appropriate attention has been given to
confusing topics, especially to the comprehension part.
I have no intention to emulate the manner of working of some authors who delib-
erately degrade others' work to pave their own way. When I was preparing for SSC
exams, I hardly found any material that could help a student develop basic under-
standing of the English language. Hindi medium students often see English as their
biggest enemy but my dear students, English is easy, yes it is. This book is an
attempt to make them feel love for English. This book gives the learners a rosy
outlook and provides them with detailed analysis of each question which will defi-
nitely help them acquire a comprehensive understanding of English.
Yours
Prashant Solanki

and is not followed by a noun. Here no noun is
given so we must use a pronoun so use 'yours'
in place of 'your'
a
sleep is an intransitive verb and doesn't take your = possessive determiner
any object so it cannot take a reflexive pronoun yours = possessive pronoun

17. (d) By seeing 'will have' we conclude that the
sentence is in future tense therefore 're-

conjunction is used which is used to introduce
a time clause and in time clauses we cannot
use 'shall/will' so, To show future tense we will
we need an adverb instead of an adjective
to describe the way in which 'I' the subject
remembers.
Therefore the correct answer should be 'I vividly
