    A AD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C AC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D CD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in part A and D of the sentence. Glut- an excessively abundant supply of something. In part 'A' use of 'on' is incorrect as the preposition 'on' refers a surface of something and specifies days and dates. The correct preposition is 'in'(which refers to the location of something). In part 'D' use of preposition 'for' is incorrect and it needs to be replaced by 'from' which identifies the spectrum or range of something i.e. sugar mills and cane farmers here. Hence, the answer is option a).
