Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: The error is in the first part: "Our flights are faster."
"Faster" is a comparative adjective and therefore must compare two things. The sentence as written lacks the comparison (faster than what?), so it is incomplete.
Why it's wrong: The comparative form requires an explicit reference (e.g., "than before", "than our competitors").
How to fix: Provide the comparison or rephrase the sentence.
Our flights are faster than before.
Our flights are faster than those of our competitors.
If no comparison is intended, use a non-comparative adjective: "Our flights are quick/speedy."
Parts two and three are grammatically correct: "We promise to be punctual and hope that the customers will give us a chance." The subject "We" correctly applies to both verbs. Therefore, "No error" is not the right choice.
