    Question

    Read the given sentence to find out whether there are

    any grammatical/ contextual errors in them. The errors, if any, will be in two of the parts of the sentences and the combination of those parts will be the answer to that question. If no part in the sentence has an error then, mark 'No error' as your answer. Consider part (E) in bold as grammatically correct. (Ignore punctuation errors if any) After years of chronic shortages, (A) / most basic goods is (B) / widely available in Venezuela, (C) / but to expensive for (D) / most people to buy. (E)
    A AB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B AD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C BD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution The errors are in parts B and D. In B, replace the singular verb IS with the plural verb ARE to agree with the plural noun GOODS and in D replace the infinitive marker TO with the adverb TOO to convey that the basic goods are more expensive than necessary. TOO is used to indicate an excessive amount or degree of something, while TO is used to form infinitives. Thus, C is the right answer.
