    A AC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B AD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D CD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution The errors lie in AC. A - replace the base form verb TASK with TASKED as the WERE + VERB passive voice construction will take the past participle form of the verb. C - replace the adverb DELICATELY (weak; fragile) with the adjective DELICATE as it is being used to modify the noun phrase STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. Thus, A is the right answer.
