    A A-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B C-E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C B-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D B-E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Part A - In this case, "told to me" should be corrected to "told me." The rule is that the verb "tell" can be directly followed by the objective pronoun without the preposition "to." Part D- "experience life beyond" lacks parallel structure with the preceding phrase "exploring different cultures." To maintain parallelism, it should be "experiencing life beyond." So, the corrected sentence would be: "He told me that his dream was to travel the world, exploring different cultures and experiencing life beyond the boundaries of his hometown.
