Q: Answer-The company has decided to expand (1)/ its operations onto new markets, (2)/ which will allow them t...

The error is in part 2. The correct preposition should be into instead of onto. The phrase should read its operations into new markets. Into is used to express movement or direction toward a specific destination, which is appropriate when discussing expansion into new markets . Onto is used for physical placement on a surface, which does not apply in this context.
