Introduction / Context:
This question targets article usage and redundancy. English avoids duplicated articles and requires "the" before "future" in temporal references like "in the future."
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Sentence: "The future is yet to come but you have a a lot from us in future."
- Task: Identify the erroneous fragment A–D.
Concept / Approach:
Two issues appear in D: (1) redundant article "a a"; (2) idiomatic requirement "in the future," not "in future" in standard formal English (although "in future" exists in some varieties, the exam standard prefers "in the future").
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Spot duplicated article: "a a".2) Correct temporal phrase: "in the future".3) A possible full correction: "…but you have a lot to learn from us in the future."4) Therefore, part D contains the error.
Verification / Alternative check:
Rewritten: "The future is yet to come, but you have a lot to learn from us in the future." This reads naturally and formally.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
A: Fine as a subject phrase.B: Acceptable idiom meaning something has not happened yet.C: "but you have a" anticipates a noun phrase and is okay before correction in D.E: Not valid because D has errors.
Common Pitfalls:
Accidental duplication of articles in fast drafting is common. Also note variety differences: some dialects permit "in future"; standardized tests often expect "in the future."
Final Answer:
a lot from us in future.
