    A Only 1 & 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only 1 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A - no error. 1 is incorrect as the adverb MERELY should be used in place of the adjective MERE, as it is being used to modify the verb IS. B replace the plural noun PHENOMENA with the singular PHENOMENON, as it is being used to the singular subject DECOLONISATION, which refers to a single process. 2 can replace B. C - replace EVERY with VERY, as the sentence seeks to emphasize on the cultural exclusiveness, which can be done using the adverb VERY. 3 can replace C. Since only 2 and 3 need replacement, (d) is the right answer.
