    C scepticism about the demand on MSP Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D entitlement, shifting the debate from why to how. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in the phrase "demand on MSP entitlement." The correct phrasing should be "demand for MSP entitlement," as the preposition "for" is typically used with "demand" to indicate what is being asked or sought. Corrected sentence: Over the last few years, many commentators and economists have revised their scepticism about the demand for MSP entitlement, shifting the debate from why to how. Therefore, the error is in C.
