    C A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In parts C and D, the sentence tells us that much of the work at the International Space Station can be monotonous. 'Boring' is the adjective to be used in part D, in place of 'bored', another adjective. This is because 'boring' here refers to the work and 'bored' is used with person(s). Option B is the right answer.
