    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Part A - We use 'across' to express 'throughout the width or expanse of something' or 'from one side to the other of', which is not suitable here to use, 'along' (throughout the length of) will be a correct fit here. Part B - since 'industries' is plural, we have to use 'continue'. Part C is grammatically correct. Part D - 'has' should be used instead of 'have' (since we are talking about the toxic brew, which is singular). Hence option c is the correct choice.
