Review: Farm Minister's Measures
Explanation
Creating a filter: the original sentence uses passive
voice unnecessarily. We have identified the Minister; ideally the Minister will
do the announcing with active voice.
Applying the filter: our filter limits us to (D) and (E).
In (E), the phrase "that are to curb global supply" conveys a meaning that they
were commanded to curb global supply, contrary to the intended meaning, which
is that the measures are intended to curb supply. So (E) is defective,
while the infinitive in (D) expresses the intended meaning clearly and simply.
The correct answer is (D).
