English Grammar — Error Spotting (Correlative Conjunctions) Identify the part that contains a grammatical error in the sentence below. If there is no error, choose 'No error'. Full sentence: So longer as you are honest and forthright I will support you in this task.

Introduction / Context:
This question tests knowledge of fixed phrases and correlative conjunctions. The idiomatic expression is "so long as" meaning "provided that." Any alteration of its internal form (e.g., "longer") is incorrect.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Target sentence: "So longer as you are honest and forthright I will support you in this task."
• We must pick the erroneous fragment among A–D; E means there is no error.
• Formal, standard English conventions apply.

Concept / Approach:

The collocation is fixed: "so long as" = "as long as" = "provided that." The comparative form "longer" is not part of the set phrase and renders the clause ungrammatical or non-idiomatic.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Identify the phrase in A: "So longer as".2) Compare with the correct idiom: "so long as".3) Recognize that "longer" incorrectly modifies the set phrase.4) The rest of the sentence is semantically and grammatically acceptable.5) Therefore, part A contains the error.

Verification / Alternative check:

Rewrite correctly: "So long as you are honest and forthright, I will support you in this task." Adding a comma before the independent clause improves readability.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

B: "you are honest" is a valid predicate within the conditional clause.C: "and forthright I will" is acceptable; ideally a comma after "forthright" can be added for clarity.D: "support you in this task." is correct and idiomatic.E: "No error." is wrong because A is erroneous.

Common Pitfalls:

Learners sometimes replace parts of fixed expressions ("so long as") with comparative/superlative forms, assuming normal adjective rules apply. Fixed phrases must be memorized and used unchanged.

Final Answer:

So longer as
