    E no error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct phrase should be "could require Beijing to redeploy troops" instead of "could be require Beijing to redeploy troops." The word "be" is unnecessary in this context. The correct phrase should be "at the expense of" instead of "in the border with." "At the expense of" is the correct phrase to indicate that redeploying troops on the border with Russia would come at the cost of other areas. The correct phrase should be "the former intelligence analyst" without the plural form of "analysts."
