Spot the error; choose ‘‘No error’’ if the sentence is correct. Sentence: Why did people get somuch annoyed even with little provocation is a matter of investigation.

Introduction / Context:
This item tests correct word spacing and, more broadly, noun-clause subjects. The surface, easily testable error is the fused form ‘‘somuch,’’ which must be written as ‘‘so much.’’

Given Data / Assumptions:

• The clause ‘‘Why …’’ functions as a subject.
• The phrase ‘‘so much’’ is a quantifier requiring two words.

Concept / Approach:
As an error-spotting question, the intended single error is the spacing of ‘‘so much.’’ A deeper stylistic improvement would also convert the direct-question order to statement order (‘‘Why people got so much annoyed … is …’’), but the option set requires picking one segment; the unequivocal error is in part B.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Identify fused quantifier: ‘‘somuch’’ → split into ‘‘so much.’’Optional improvement: change A to ‘‘Why people got’’ for statement order when the clause is a subject.Corrected version (minimal): ‘‘Why did people get so much annoyed even with little provocation is a matter of investigation.’’ (or better: ‘‘Why people got so much annoyed … is …’’)

Verification / Alternative check:
Check parallel phrases: ‘‘so many,’’ ‘‘so much’’ are always two words; there is no standard single-word form here.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
A, C, and D are serviceable within the test’s constraints; B alone has a clear orthographic error.

Common Pitfalls:
Overlooking spacing/orthography issues in favor of heavier grammatical concerns; however, competitive exams often target such surface errors.

Final Answer:
somuch annoyed
