Hello.
I'm doing an error identification exercise. I can't find the mistake in this sentence.
"Oil prices rose yesterday but remain around $63 a barrel as an increase in crude reserves in the United States eased worries of tight supplies."
Should it be "the worries"?
Thank you,
Nawee |

For one thing, your sentence has some missing punctuation.
MS Word couldn't spot any error. I feel it should be 'worries about'. |

Nawee,
Hi.
Actually, I see nothing wrong with this sentence. It sounds like it
was taken directly from a news source and seems fine.
And no, it shouldn't be "the worries", It could go toward "worries about
tight supplies".
Aside from that, I agree with Anuradha. The only thing is maybe
some missing punctuation.
Sorry, I can't help more. Good luck though.  |
