can someone please explain the answer.

Torn between D and E. I think it should be E. What is OA?

[neeshpal]

OA is E.

can you explain.

Thanks!

A -> 'could be a serious impact' does not make sense
B -> 'could seriously impact on' is incorrect. It should 'could have a serious impact'
C -> same as B
D -> 'possibility to do something' or 'possibility of having something' is the correct idiom. 'possibility to have' here is incorrect
E -> Fixes all the above errors. CORRECT.

Hi Neeshpal,

What's the source of this question (name of book or online source, problem number)?

Thanks,

This is Q# 745 from the 1000 SC collections.

[thoppae.saravanan]

Impact on... and Possibility of... are proper idioms. So only C and E.

could have a serious impact.. and possibility of having... agrees with tense. So will go for E.
