参考答案及解析：
1.The correct answer is B
The error in this sentence occurs at (B), where an inappropriate verb form creates a sentence fragment. To fix this problem, the phrase “sharks, living” should be changed to “sharks live.”
2.The correct answer is C
The error in this sentence occurs at (C), where there is subject-verb disagreement. The plural verb “make” does not agree with its singular subject, “An abundant supply.”
3.The correct answer is D
The error in this sentence occurs at (D), where there is an illogical comparison. It does not make sense to compare “rooms on the top floors” with “the lower floors.”
4.The correct answer is B
The error in this sentence occurs at (B), where there is subject-verb disagreement. The singular verb “does” does not agree with the plural noun “processes.” The plural verb “do” is needed instead.
5.The correct answer is D
Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the comma splice error of the original by providing the appropriate modifying phrase “which feeds on the leaves of the mulberry tree.”
6.The correct answer is C
Choice (C) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by following both parts of the “both … and” construction with the pronoun “his” (“In both his … and his … ”).
7.The correct answer is B
Choice (B) is correct. It avoids the subject-verb agreement error of the original by using the singular verb “sharpens” to agree with the singular subject “Listening.”
8.The correct answer is C
Choice (C) is correct. It avoids the modification error of the original by placing the subject of the sentence, “American artist Willem de Kooning” directly after the modifying phrase “Combining both figurative and abstract elements in his paintings.”
