Question

Identify if there is an error in any of the underlined parts. If there isn't any error, choose option D:
(a) The tin deposits in that area (b) would probably be exhausted (c) in to near future.

• A. (a)
• B. (b)
• C. (c)
• D. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is C (c)

Let’s examine the complete sentence: “(a) The tin deposits in that area (b) would probably be exhausted (c) in to near future.” The phrase in Standard English indicating a short time in future is “in the near future.” Hence, this phrase should be used in Part C of the sentence. Hence, the error is in Part C of the sentence. So, Option C is the correct answer.
