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

    Solution

    • Part D: The phrase "should always looking" is grammatically incorrect. The modal verb "should" must be followed by a bare infinitive (the base form of the verb). The correct verb form is "look." The sentence should read, "...should always look to the next new ideas..." .
    • Part E: The phrase "let alone old" is missing an article. The noun "old" in this context refers to "old ideas." The correct phrasing requires an article, such as "the." The complete phrase should be "...let alone the old."
