Error spotting — redundancy and word choice in noun phrases: Identify the erroneous part (A/B/C) — mark D if none — 'To facilitate exports and improve sales in the domestic market / some of the improvised fabrics and garments fabricated out from them / are displayed in the main pavilion. / No error.'

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: some of the improvised fabrics and garments fabricated out from them

Explanation:


Given data

  • Parts: (A) To facilitate exports… (B) some of the improvised fabrics and garments fabricated out from them (C) are displayed…


Concept/Approach: Diction + redundancy
'Improvised fabrics' is semantically off ('improvised' = made on the spot). Likely intended: 'improved' or 'innovative'. Also, 'fabricated out from' is redundant/incorrect; idiomatic forms are 'fabricated from' or 'made out of'. Further, 'garments … from them' already implies the source; no extra 'out' is required.


Step-by-step corrections
1) Replace word: 'improvised' → 'improved' (or 'innovative').2) Fix preposition/redundancy: 'fabricated out from them' → 'fabricated from them' / 'made from them'.3) Polished: '…some of the improved fabrics and the garments fabricated from them…'


Common pitfalls
Confusing 'improvised' with 'improved'; using double prepositions like 'out from' after 'fabricated'.


Final Answer
Part B contains the clustered errors (diction and preposition).
