Yes even I think it should be A.

"until the supply lasts" is better than "as long as the supply lasts"
Peace

The OA is E. I chose A as I thought that A is better.

Please explain why E is OA

hi ranel

The sale of government surplus machinery will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until the supply lasts.

E is the best option here because of different usage of as long as and until.

as long as is used when some action occurs simultaniously with another.

in the issue at hand the sale will continue ( occur simultaniously) as long as the sully lasts

A would have been correct if it said "until supply gets over"

if we say "supply lasts" we must use "as long as"

similar to
-as long as one lives
-until one dies
