    D Austerity is a means of socialise control, or as most people put it, discipline. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    B is wrong - the singular noun 'means' is the correct word to be used. C is wrong - here the adjective 'most' is the correct word to be used in order to modify the noun 'people'. D is wrong - to modify the noun 'control', an adjective is needed hence 'social' is the correct form of the word. A is grammatically correct and meaningful. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
