    B they pack up on doubt and Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C uncertainty on screen and Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The phrasal verb ‘pack up’ means ‘to stop doing an activity’. This is incorrect. The correct phrasal verb is ‘pick up’. ‘pick up on something’ means ‘to notice something that other people have not noticed’. The viewers are not fools, they pick up on doubt and uncertainty on screen and hit the remote accordingly.
