Error

Overlap with - incorrect
]

B) between the two concepts market economy and laissez faire, several important differences must be borne in mind
Correct

C) spanning the two concepts market economy and laissez faire, one must bear several important differences between them in mind
Spanning - modifying two concepts; one - singular subject; bear - plural verb. - SVA error

D) among the two concepts market economy and laissez faire, there are several important differences between them that must be borne in mind
Among is used the >2 - Incorrect;

E) with the two concepts of market economy and laissez faire, one must bear in mind several important differences
2 concepts of X and y, meaning difference between 4 (sub-concepts) - alters meaning; one - singular, bear - plural - SVA

I have two queries-

1) can someone help me identify the SVA in option C (one must bear several important differences between them in mind) & E (one must bear in mind several important differences)
2) In option D - "differences between them that must be borne in mind" - is this correct?

Hello nisthagupta28,

We hope this finds you well.

Having gone through the question and your query, we believe we can resolve your doubts.

1) There is no subject-verb disagreement in Option C; the use of the bossy verb "must" indicates that the subjunctive mood is preferable here, and “Bossy verb (“requires”) + "base form of verb” (“bear” in this sentence)” is a correct subjunctive mood construction.

2) Yes; the clause "there are several important differences between them that must be borne in mind" is a grammatically correct construction, but it is inferior to the more concise and direct version used in Option B - "several important differences must be borne in mind" - as it is in the passive voice.

We hope this helps.
All the best!

Hello Experts,

E) with the two concepts of market economy and laissez faire, one must bear in mind several important differences
Why E is incorrect?

I think "between" and "with" conveys the same meaning. Then Why E is incorrect?
Is "2 concepts of" incorrect in E?
What tense is "Must be + past participle"?

Hello Sneha2021,

We hope this finds you well.

Having gone through the question and your queries, we believe we can resolve your doubts.

1. The construction of the phrase "overlap with the two concepts of market economy and laissez faire", incorrectly conveys that some unnamed third entity has an overlap with the two concepts of market economy and laissez faire; the intended meaning is that the two concepts of market economy and laissez faire themselves have an overlap, as conveyed through the phrase "overlap between the two concepts of market economy and laissez faire".

2. No, the phrase "two concepts of" is correct, though needlessly wordy.

3. "must be + past participle" is the simple present tense in passive form; the active verb in this phrase is "be".

We hope this helps.
All the best!

No Sneha, 'with' and 'between' have different uses with 'overlap'.

When 'overlap' is used as a verb, we can use 'with' in some cases or we use just 'overlap'.
e.g. A does not overlap with B.
A and B do not overlap.

But when 'overlap' is used as a noun, we use 'between'.
e.g. There is some overlap between A and B.

Our structure here: "there is some overlap between the two concepts market economy and laissez faire"
needs 'between', not 'with'.

Though there is some overlap with the two concepts market economy and laissez faire, several important differences between them must be borne in mind.

B) between the two concepts market economy and laissez faire, several important differences must be borne in mind

C) spanning the two concepts market economy and laissez faire, one must bear several important differences between them in mind

In C seems the overlap spanning but we need to highlight the difference between the two concepts at the core of the sentence

Since we are talking about overlap between two concepts and not something extending/spread across, we must use 'between' not 'spanning.'

We use spanning to show 'extending or spread across'
