Answer:
B. lacking parallelism
Explanation:
The original sentence contains a predicate nominative (<em>singer</em>) and an action verb (<em>plays</em>), which shows lack of parallelism.
The best way to fix the error would be to use a parallel structure, which is the repetition of a certain grammatical form within a sentence:
"Shelia E. <em>sings </em>and<em> plays</em> the drums."
Now the sentence uses two action verbs <em>sings </em>and<em> plays</em> in the present tense, and this is an example of parallelism.

Answer:
We were at a disadvantage <em><u>in</u></em><em> </em>that that we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the correct preposition to be used is "in". This is because "in" will introduce the argument or provide an explanation for the statement before the blank.
With the use of "in", the statement <em>"we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using"</em> provides an explanation for the first statement <em>"[W]e were at a disadvantage"</em>. Whereas the use of the prepositions "by", "with", and "for" are incorrect.
Thus, the correct answer is "in".
