Airlines have increased fares because according to the new rules only limiting passengers are allowed.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. the new rules only limiting.

  • The error lies in option 1 because of the wrong use of 'limiting'.
    • Limiting means setting or serving as a limit to something.
    • Limited means restricted in size, amount, or extent; few, small, or short.
  • Here 'limited' is the correct adjective to use with Passengers.
  • Correct Sentence:- Airlines have increased fares because according to the new rules only limited passengers are allowed.
