- AYou may please
- Bapply for an advance of salary
- Cto cover costs of transport.
- DNo error.
Explanation
The error lies in part (c). The transport cost referred to is a definite, specific cost, so it requires the definite article: ‘the cost of transport’, not the bare plural ‘costs of transport’. Parts (a) and (b) are acceptable as printed. Hence the error is in (c).
