They can have 5 to 8 arms, and they have a strong power to regenerate. The presence of \u201c<em>and<\/em>\u201d indicates the presence of additional information. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><em>if&nbsp;<u>one arm is lost<\/u><\/em><\/li><li><em><u>it quickly replaces it,<\/u><\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If Starfish lose one arm, they can replace it fast.

So, this part substantiates the point that Starfish has \u201c<em>a strong regenerative ability<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum it all, this sentence presents a few pieces of information about Starfish that can have 5 to 8 arms. They have a very strong power to regenerate. To substantiate this point, the authors adds that if Starfish lose an arm, they can quickly replace it. In the process, they sometimes do more than needed and grow an extra arm or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Error Analysis<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Structure Error<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sentence uses \u201c<em>if\u2026then\u2026<\/em>\u201d structure. Generally, the \u201c<em>if\u2026then\u2026<\/em>\u201d clauses are written in the same structure. However, we do not see the same here. The \u201c<em>if<\/em>\u201d clause is written in the passive voice while the \u201c<em>then<\/em>\u201d clause is written in the active voice. This inconsistency in the structure leads to structure error in the sentence because both these clauses can be written in either the active or the passive voice to maintain the identical structure.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pronoun Error<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The singular pronoun \u201c<em>it<\/em>\u201d has been used to refer to the plural noun \u201c<em>Starfish<\/em>\u201d. We know for sure that \u201cStarfish\u201d is a plural noun because it takes the plural verb \u201c<em>have<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Idiom Error<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the last bit of the sentence, \u201c<em>sometimes by the animal<\/em>\u2026\u201d present the meaning fine, the structure of this bit is not precise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Answer Choice Analysis<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choice A: one arm is lost it quickly replaces it, sometimes by the animal overcompensating and<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#ce1e1e\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Incorrect: 4% people chose this option<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#ce1e1e\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color\">This choice has errors pointed out in error analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choice B: one arm is lost it is quickly replaced, with the animal sometimes overcompensating and<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#f3eded;color:#11ae5a\" class=\"has-text-color has-background\"><strong>Correct<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This choice rectifies all the grammatical errors of the original sentence and presents the logical meaning clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choice C: they lose one arm they quickly replace it, sometimes by the animal overcompensating,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#ce1e1e\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color\"><strong>Incorrect (19% people chose this option)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.

Parallelism Error<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original sentence presents the actions of overcompensating and growing as two separate actions that connected by \u201c<em>and<\/em>\u201d. The omission of this conjunction violates parallelism because there cannot be a list without conjunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choice D: they lose one arm they are quickly replaced, with the animal sometimes overcompensating,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#ce1e1e\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color\"><strong>Incorrect (1% people chose this option)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li><strong>Structure Error<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This choice repeats the structure error related to the \u201c<em>if\u2026then<\/em>\u2026\u201d clauses.
