    Question

    In the following question, a sentence is given, divided

    into four parts (A), (B), (C) and (D). The error, if any, will only be in TWO PHRASES/PARTS of the sentence. The combination of those parts is the answer. If no part in the sentence has an error, then mark 'No error' as your answer. Ignore errors of punctuations, if any. Despite of a decade of rapid progress on adopting electronic (A)/ health records, the health care industry (B)/ still has a lot too envy when it looks at the ease (C)/ of data-sharing in industries like banking (D).
    A BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B AD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C CD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D AC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The errors are in (A) & (C). In part (A), the use of preposition 'of' with 'despite' is redundant; 'despite is used without any preposition. In part (C), the use of adverb 'too' (in addition (or) excessively) is incorrect; the infinitive 'to' should be used here instead (as per the infinitive construction). Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
