Coffee prices rose sharply Monday, posting their biggest one-day gain in almost three years, after a weekend cold snap in Brazil raised concern that there could be damage to the world\u2019s largest crop when at a time with supplies<\/span> already tight.<\/p>\n

Meaning Analysis<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Coffee prices<\/span> rose<\/span>sharply Monday,\n
      \n
        \n
      • posting their biggest one-day gain in almost three years,<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The sentence starts by saying that the prices of coffee increased tremendously on a particular day. This increase resulted in the biggest single day profit in recent times. Reading further:<\/p>\n

          \n
            \n
          • after a weekend cold snap in Brazil<\/span> raised<\/span> concern<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n

            This portion relates the above increase in prices with a particular event. It says that the increase resulted post a particular concern surfaced, following an unusually cold weekend in Brazil. What\u2019s this concern? Let\u2019s read further to know.<\/p>\n

              \n
                \n
                  \n
                • that there could be<\/span> damage<\/span>to the world\u2019s largest crop<\/span><\/span> \n
                    \n
                  • when at a time with supplies<\/span> already tight.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n

                    The final part of the sentence describes the concern mentioned earlier. The concern is that the world\u2019s largest crop = coffee crop in Brazil could be damaged after the weekend cold spell in Brazil. This possibility came about at the time when the supplies of coffee were already limited.<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    To sum up, the sentence talks about a chain of events. On a particular weekend, an unusually cold weather in Brazil raised a concern that the world\u2019s largest crop, the coffee crop in Brazil, could be damaged at a time when supplies were already limited. This concern led to a significant increase in coffee prices on Monday. This increase resulted in the highest single day profit in recent times.<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    \u00a0Error Analysis<\/span><\/h1>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Modifier Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Use of the modifier with supplies<\/em> is incorrect in this choice \u00a0because it fails to convey the intended meaning. The sentence wants to convey that the concern<\/em> surfaced at a time when the supplies were already tight<\/em>.<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    But the way this modifier (with supplies<\/em>) is placed in the sentence, it seems to suggest that the concern surfaced at a particular kind of time – a time \u00a0that was with limited supplies. This meaning makes no logical sense.<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    \n

                    POE<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
                    \n

                    Choice A<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                    Incorrect<\/span><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    This choice has the error pointed out in the error analysis.<\/p>\n

                    \n

                    Choice B<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                    Incorrect<\/span><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Idiom Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Use of the idiom such as<\/em> is incorrect because such as is used to present examples and from the context of the sentence it is clear that the sentence merely intends to explain a situation and does not intend to present any example.<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    \n

                    Choice C<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                    Correct<\/span><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    This indeed is the correct answer choice. The clause \u2026when supplies are already tight<\/em> clearly conveys the intended meaning that the concern<\/em> surfaced at a time when supplies<\/em> are limited.<\/p>\n

                    \n

                    Choice D<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                    Incorrect<\/span><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    1. \u00a0Meaning Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Use of expression concern of the world\u2019s largest crop<\/em> is erroneous because this expression means that the concern belongs to the world\u2019s largest crop. This is clearly an illogical meaning.<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    2. \u00a0Modifier Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    This choice repeats the modifier error present in Choice A.<\/p>\n

                    \n

                    Choice E<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                    Incorrect<\/span><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    1. \u00a0Idiom Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Since the portion following the phrase concern<\/em> of <\/em>merely intends to describe the concern further and doesn\u2019t intend to attribute the concern to any specific entity, use of the preposition of<\/em> is incorrect.<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    2. \u00a0Modifier Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Use of relative pronoun modifier that<\/em> to refer to time is incorrect. Modifier when<\/em> is used to modify time<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
