Question
Read the sentence to find out whether there is any
grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is ‘No error’, the answer is (5). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any). The new tax policy aims to boost foreign investments; moreover, it proposes to increase corporate taxes in certain sectors, which may deter industrial growth.Solution
Explanation: The use of "moreover" is incorrect in this context. "Moreover" is used to add information that supports or strengthens a statement. However, the proposal to increase corporate taxes contradicts the aim to boost foreign investments, so "however" or "on the other hand" would be more appropriate here. The corrected sentence is: "The new tax policy aims to boost foreign investments; however, it proposes to increase corporate taxes in certain sectors, which may deter industrial growth." Â
