Question
The given sentence is divided into four parts. Read the
given sentence to find out whether there are any grammatical/contextual errors in it. The error if any will be in two parts of the sentence. Select the option which includes those parts from the sentence. If no part in the sentence has an error, then mark 'no error' as your answer. A glut on sugar production over the last (A) / few years had resulted in a crash (B) / in prices and an increase in payment arrears (C) / for sugar mills to cane farmers (D).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).
