Error correction

Polls show confidence (a)on the prime minister (b)rising by 11% (c)since his new plan for the economy (d)was revealed.

Among (a) - (d), which one is incorrect?

Is it (a), which should be "be"?


Also, could you tell me the meaning of this sentence?

  

Top answer

(a) is incorrect, but "be" doesn't make sense there. Hint: we don't say "confidence on someone"; we use a different preposition. Any guesses?
