Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given sentence, the phrase "There were seven patches of bared soil, yellow colour and pink, where the new mealies were just showing, making a film of bright green; and around each drifting up thick clouds of smoke" contains a few errors.
The phrase "yellow colour and pink" should be "yellow and pink colours" to describe the colours of the bared soil.
Additionally, the phrase "where the new mealies were just showing, making a film of bright green" is incomplete. It would be clearer to rephrase it as "where the new mealies were just beginning to show, creating a film of bright green."
Lastly, the phrase "and around each drifting up thick clouds of smoke" should be rephrased as "and thick clouds of smoke drifting up around each."
Therefore, option B provides the correct and improved version of the sentence by addressing the errors mentioned above.
