Find out the correct sentence among the options given below.

In English, an adverb (often formed by adding ‘-ly’ to an adjective) modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb to show manner or degree, while an adjective’s core function is to modify a noun or pronoun. Certain comparative adjectives of Latin origin — such as senior, junior, superior, inferior, prior, and posterior — conventionally pair with the preposition ‘to’ rather than ‘than’ to introduce their standard of comparison. The verb ‘admit’ can be used as a plain transitive verb (in the sense ‘confess’ or ‘allow entry’) or, with the preposition ‘of’, in the more formal idiomatic sense of ‘leave room for’.

Applying these patterns to the four sentences:

• ‘You are entire wrong’ — the modifier attached to the adjective ‘wrong’ is the adjective ‘entire’; degree-modification of an adjective calls for the adverb form, so this needs ‘entirely wrong’.

• ‘He is senior than me’ — ‘senior’ belongs to the Latin comparative group, which introduces its standard of comparison with ‘to’ rather than ‘than’, so this needs ‘senior to me’.

• ‘This admits no excuse’ — for the abstract sense ‘leave room for’, the traditional formal construction is ‘admits of no excuse’. Modern dictionaries do record a plain transitive ‘admit’ in that sense, so the sentence is arguable under a purely descriptive reading; the exam applies the traditional convention.

• ‘I encourage my sister in her studies’ — a standard subject–verb–object–adjunct pattern, and ‘encourage somebody in something’ is a well-attested complementation pattern for this verb, so none of the rules above is breached.

Cross-check against the official record: TPSC’s published final answer key for this paper (Sub-Inspector of Excise 2013-14, screening test of 6 July 2014, Series A, Q86 = B) selects ‘I encourage my sister in her studies.’ That same key records ‘A OR B’ for Q69, showing the commission did reopen genuinely ambiguous items on this paper, yet it kept this question single-answer — so the traditional ‘admits of’ convention is the reading the exam settled on.

‘I encourage my sister in her studies.’ is therefore the correct sentence, per both the grammar analysis above and TPSC’s official final answer key.
