      A The man is not a regular customer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B here as he seldom or ever visits Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C the place; hence, the discount coupons Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D cannot be given to him Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ‘Seldom’ should be followed by ‘never’ and not ‘ever’. Seldom and never, are both in negative sense. Seldom means rarely and never means ‘something that never occurs’. Therefore, instead of ‘ever’, ‘never’ should be placed. The sentence says that a customer visits a place rarely or never which together means ‘very rarely’.
