Correct Answer: so much to


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

Explanation: The error occurs because " so much" is used incorrectly in the sentence. "So much" is typically used to refer to an excessive or considerable amount of something. However, in this context, the intended meaning is about earning an adequate amount, which is better conveyed by using "enough". "Enough" signifies a sufficient quantity or degree for a specific purpose, making it the appropriate word choice in this sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Do you earn enough to make both ends meet?
