While some oncologists abroad say much research is needed to be able (1)/ to properly back up such a claim, Cuban pharmaceutical firm Labiofam has been (2)/ using scorpion venom since 2011 to manufacture the homeopathic medicine Vidatox. (3)/ No error (4) Correct Answer 1 The error lies due to wrong determiner being used here. ‘much’ must be replaced with ‘more’. ‘much’ is used with ‘uncountable nouns’. ‘more’ is used to show ‘comparison’. ‘more’ denotes ‘a greater or additional amount or degree’. Since additional amount of ‘research’ is required, hence ‘more’ is the correct word here. Correct sentence- ‘While some oncologists abroad say more research is needed to be able to properly back up such a claim, Cuban pharmaceutical firm Labiofam has been using scorpion venom since 2011 to manufacture the homeopathic medicine Vidatox.’
