Error Spotting – Choose the single segment (A–D) that contains a grammatical or spelling error; select ‘‘All correct’’ only if the entire sentence is correct. Sentence: A) People in our country are distressed B) by the spate of strikes, an almost C) perpetual go slow and D) increadibily low productivity

Introduction / Context:
This error-spotting item checks two common trouble spots in formal English: spelling within abstract nouns and the correct hyphenation of compound nouns that function as terms (such as labor actions). The goal is to identify the single segment that makes the sentence nonstandard.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• The sentence discusses national distress caused by strikes, an almost perpetual slowdown, and low productivity.
• Only one option should contain the error; “All correct” is chosen only if A–D are error-free.
• Segment C uses the labor-term “go-slow,” typically hyphenated; segment D contains a suspect spelling of “incredibly.”

Concept / Approach:
Standard spelling requires “incredibly,” not “increadibily.” Compound terms like “go-slow” are commonly hyphenated in formal registers, but the spelling error in D is the decisive flaw. When two potential improvements appear, choose the unequivocal error in orthography first, as exams expect exactly one incorrect segment.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Scan for clear spelling violations: “increadibily” in D is not a dictionary form.2) Replace with “incredibly”: “... and incredibly low productivity.”3) Optionally improve C to “go-slow,” but note that lack of a hyphen is often tolerated; the spelling error is non-negotiable.4) Conclude that D is the segment containing the error.

Verification / Alternative check:
Read the sentence with the correction: “People in our country are distressed by the spate of strikes, an almost perpetual go-slow, and incredibly low productivity.” The sentence now reads idiomatically and formally.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• A: Grammatically fine as the subject clause.
• B: Prepositional phrase and appositive flow are acceptable.
• C: “go slow” is understandable; “go-slow” would be preferred but is not a strict error in many exam keys.

Common Pitfalls:
Overcorrecting stylistic hyphenation while missing a blatant spelling mistake; assuming that every compound must be hyphenated in all styles.

Final Answer:
increadibily low productivity
