Correct answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer: BDAC
Explanation
• Part B introduces the opening clause of the sentence: "The fact is, over the past...".
• Part D naturally completes the time phrase initiated in B with "...few months, I have been..." (making the pair B-D).
• Part A provides the predicate adjective and prepositional phrase: "...responsible for a series of small..." following the linking verb "have been".
• Part C completes the thought by specifying what the series consisted of: "...errors in the carrying out of my duties."
Complete Sentence: "The fact is, over the past few months, I have been responsible for a series of small errors in the carrying out of my duties."
