Answer:

The kind of error that occurs is:

B. a pronoun shift error.

Explanation:

Take a look at the following sentence:

"One could have done better if we had studied harder."

See how the sentence begins by using "one" and then suddenly shifts to "we"? This is an example of a pronoun shift error. The pronoun "we" does not agree with "one".

Let's analyze another example:

"Someone is knocking; and they seem to be in a hurry."

Although that is a common structure in colloquial speech, it is incorrect. "Someone" is a third-person singular word, so the pronouns that refer to it should be "he" or "she". "They" is a third-person plural pronoun. Therefore, this example too shows a pronoun shift error.

Katyanochek1 [597]

I am not sure what you are asking here.  If you are asking what parallel structure looks like, you would have to keep the verb tenses the same.  For example, Sam likes to ride bikes, hike trails, and bake bread.  What is does NOT look like: Sam likes to ride bikes, go hiking on trails, and baked bread with her grandmother.  The structure words would be based of the passage you were given, which isn't supplied here.  If you were asked to write a paragraph using a parallel structure, follow the example given here.
