Directions: Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. In the following sentences, a part is highlighted in each sentence which is error-free, the error, if any, will be in any other part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is 'No error', the answer is (e). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any). The global carbon (A)/ **budget for a given temperature**/ limit is a global resource, common (B)/ to the entire world, but (C)/ is exhaustible and limited. (D)

### Concept & Grammar Rule Superfluous Expressions (Redundancy). A sentence should not use multiple words or phrases that convey the exact same meaning, as this creates structural redundancy and violates the rule of conciseness. ### Step-by-Step Solution - The sentence describes the carbon budget as a "global resource" in part (B). The word "global" inherently means relating to the whole world. - In part (C), the phrase "to the entire world" is added immediately after to describe this resource. - Saying a "global resource" is "common to the entire world" is heavily redundant because the meaning of "entire world" is already encapsulated in the word "global". - To correct this, the superfluous phrase "to the entire world" should be removed. - Therefore, the error lies in part (C). ### Exam Strategy & Shortcut Whenever you see adjectives of absolute or universal scale (like global, universal, final, past), check if the succeeding words unnecessarily repeat the same idea (e.g., "final conclusion", "past history", "global... entire world"). ### Common Pitfall Accepting redundant phrases because they sound emphatic or formal. In strict grammar tests, conciseness is key and unnecessary repetition is marked as an error. ### Final Answer Therefore, the correct answer is **C**.
