Answer 1

Answer: (C)

C

Let’s examine the sentence: “I fear we will lose the match from this team.” The sentence uses the noun “match” to mean “a game in which players or teams compete against each other, especially in a sport.” When used in this sense in Standard English, “match” is used with the preposition “against” to express a competition between two teams. Hence, the preposition “from” would be replaced by “against” in the sentence. So, the correct sentence would be, “I fear we will lose the match against this team.” So, the error is in Part C of the sentence. Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
