Meaning Analysis<\/span><\/h1>\n
    \n
      \n
    • After weeks of uncertainty about the course the country<\/span> would pursue<\/span>\n
        \n
      • to stabilize its troubled economy,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n

        The sentence starts by talking about a doubt regarding the decision some country would take with the intention to steady its disturbed economy. It says after <\/em>this doubt had lingered on for some time, signalling that we are going to learn about some event that happened later. Let\u2019s read on to find out what that event is.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • officials<\/span> reached<\/span> a revised agreement with the International Monetary Fund,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          In this portion, we get to know that the incident that took later dealt with a decision the officials of the country took to steady the economy. They revamped an agreement with a global financial organization. Reading further:<\/p>\n

            \n
              \n
            • pledging<\/span><\/li>\n
                \n
              • the enforcement of substantially greater budget discipline<\/span><\/li>\n
                  \n
                • as that <\/span>which\u00a0<\/span>was<\/span> originally <\/span>promised<\/span> and<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                • to keep inflation below ten percent<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n

                  This part tells us about the revamped agreement. Per the agreement, the officials promised they would work towards a better budget discipline, as was promised earlier. They would also keep the inflation below a certain level.<\/p>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                  To sum up, the sentence says that after a prolonged doubt about what should be done to steady the disturbed economy of a \u00a0country, some officials of the country revamped an agreement with a global financial institution. Per the agreement the officials zeroed in on two steps:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. to achieve greater budget discipline and<\/span><\/li>\n
                  2. to maintain the inflation below a certain level.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

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

                     <\/p>\n

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

                    \n

                    \n

                    1. \u00a0Parallelism Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Per the sentence, the officials<\/em> of the country decided to do two things. However, these two things, the enforcement <\/em>and to keep<\/em>, are not grammatically parallel. This list can be made parallel in the following way:<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    \u2026pledging<\/p>\n

                      \n
                        \n
                      • to enforce and<\/li>\n
                      • to keep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n

                         <\/p>\n

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

                         <\/p>\n

                        The sentence uses the incorrect comparison idiom greater<\/em> X as<\/em> Y. The correct idiom is greater X than Y.<\/p>\n

                         <\/p>\n

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

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

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

                         <\/p>\n

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

                        \n

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

                        Incorrect \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                         <\/p>\n

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

                         <\/p>\n

                        Per this choice, the two steps taken by officials of the country are \u2026the enforcement of substantially greater budget discipline<\/em>\u2026 and \u2026keeping inflation below<\/em>\u2026. These entities are not grammatically parallel. One way to correct this error is to represent these actions as to enforce substantially\u2026 and to keep inflation below\u2026<\/em>.<\/p>\n

                        \n

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

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

                         <\/p>\n

                        This choice corrects both the errors of Choice A. It uses two parallel entities \u2026to enforce\u2026<\/em> and \u2026to keep\u2026<\/em> and also uses the correct comparison idiom greater<\/em> X than<\/em> Y. \u00a0If we elaborate this idiom, we get the following structure:<\/p>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                        \u2026greater budget discipline than<\/em> (the budget discipline) originally promised<\/em> \u2026<\/p>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                        Use of ellipses and removal of the which<\/em> clause makes this choice precise.<\/p>\n

                        \n

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

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

                         <\/p>\n

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

                         <\/p>\n

                        The two steps \u2026to enforce<\/em>\u2026 and \u2026keeping inflation<\/em>\u2026 are not grammatically parallel.<\/p>\n

                        \n

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

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

                         <\/p>\n

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

                         <\/p>\n

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