    Question

    Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark "No Error" as your answer. (Ignore the errors of punctuation).

    A As forests are cleared and fragmented, reduced canopy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B cover and increased artificial lighting may Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C force animals to adapt or facing challenges Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D in securing food and safe passage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in part (3). The structure "force animals to adapt or facing challenges" is incorrect. The verb "facing" should be in its base form "face" to parallel the verb "adapt." It should read "force animals to adapt or face challenges."
