Find out whether there is an error in any underlined part.
Why should the rich (A) look down (B) the poor (C) No error (D)
Answer: B
The error is in part (B), look down.
The phrasal verb meaning to regard someone as inferior is look down upon (or look down on). Without 'upon', 'look down the poor' has no proper meaning. The correct sentence is 'Why should the rich look down upon the poor?'
'Why should the rich' is correct, with 'the rich' meaning rich people as a class, and 'the poor' is correct in the same way, so the other parts are not at fault.
