Dear breragol,from the "Economist", can someone spot the error in first paragraph?
I'm happy to respond.
First, I will say that I am very happy that you are reading the Economist, a fine news journal that will prepare you well for the GMAT Verbal, for business school, and for your career as an executive in the global marketplace. Nevertheless, I am unclear what you are identifying as an error. Here's the text of the first paragraph:
What makes this election different for investors is the nature of the Republican candidate—Donald Trump is a long way from the party's mainstream. A Trump victory would throw up all kinds of uncertainty about the likely tone of economic and foreign policy. It is not just that the candidate's pronouncements have been vague and inconsistent; he has not surrounded himself with the kind of mainstream policy advisers that backed past candidates such as Mitt Romney or John McCain. "This will be totally uncharted territory," says Mitchell Harris, chief executive of the investment-management arm of BNY Mellon.
I will say that, in the third sentence, the use of the semicolon between the clauses is not wrong, but a curious choice. I would have chosen an em-dash there instead. Other than that, nothing jumps out at me as egregiously wrong. What did you think was an error?
