                                                                                                                                                                                                      Hello from Careers360,

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Thank you for reaching out regarding your SSC CPO application. I understand your concern about not selecting the "currently serving in the armed forces" option during your application process.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      First, congratulations on clearing your SSC CPO Tier 1 exam. That's a significant achievement.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Regarding your question, while it's always best to provide accurate information on applications, this particular oversight may not necessarily disqualify you. However, it's important to address this during your documentation phase.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Here's what I suggest:

                                                                                                                                                                                                      1. Prepare a written statement explaining the situation and why you didn't select that option initially.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      2. Gather any relevant documents that prove your current service in Assam Rifles.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      3. When you attend the document verification process, inform the officials about this discrepancy upfront. Be honest and straightforward about the mistake.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      In most cases, if you're upfront about such oversights and can provide the correct information with supporting documents, the authorities are understanding.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      If you're particularly concerned, you might want to reach out to the SSC directly to inform them of this situation before your documentation phase. They may be able to guide you on the best course of action.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      In this case, since you completed your graduation in 2022, you should mention the passing year as 2022 in your exam forms or SSC CPO application. The passing year refers to the year in which you completed your degree, not the year in which you cleared any backlog subjects.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      I hope this answers your question.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Thanks

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Correct Answer: has been sold


                                                                                                                                                                                                      Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Explanation: The phrase "the land has been sold" is in the present perfect tense. In the context of the passage, this tense is suitable because it conveys a connection between a past action (the sale of the land) and the present state (the land being managed by somebody in an office). The present perfect tense indicates relevance to the current situation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      So, the complete sentence would be: "Neither of the farmhouses is attached to a farm these days; the land has been sold and is managed by somebody in an office somewhere who has little interest in the village."
