    E ACE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Part (E) - The sentence talks about the availability of opportunities to earn money. The adjective 'economical' [giving good value or return in relation to the money, time, or effort expended/cheap] does not meaningfully qualify the noun 'opportunities' and thus fails to convey the intended meaning. It should be replaced by the adjective 'economic' [relating to economics or the economy/financial] to form a contextually coherent sentence.
