Though it is more expensive than hay, but Haylage is becoming more popular and has a higher feed value
Correct answer: B. But
- A. More expensive
- B. But
- C. And
- D. A higher
Explanation
The sentence contains a redundant contrastive conjunction "but" after "Though", which is incorrect. The correct sentence should be:"Though it is more expensive than hay, Haylage is becoming more popular and has a higher feed value."Or, alternatively:"It is more expensive than hay, but Haylage is becoming more popular and has a higher feed value."In the original sentence, the "but" after "Though" creates a contradictory and confusing meaning, making it the correct answer.

About Error Detection
Error detection requires finding faults in sentence structure, grammar, usage, spelling or punctuation and identifying the correction. The work draws on agreement, tense, pronoun reference, articles, prepositions, modifiers and parallel structure, so the incorrect part must be judged within the complete sentence rather than in isolation.
