If no part in the sentence has an error then, mark 'No error' as your answer. Consider part (E) in bold as grammatically correct.

Solution The errors are in parts C and D. In C, replace the singular noun DOG with the plural noun DOGS to be modified by the plural number 62 million, and in D, replace the adverb NEAR (at or to a short distance away) with the adverb NEARLY (almost) to fit in the sentence contextually. Thus, D is the right answer.
