    Solution

    The errors lie in AC. A - replace the base form verb TASK with TASKED as the WERE + VERB passive voice construction will take the past participle form of the verb. C - replace the adverb DELICATELY (weak; fragile) with the adjective DELICATE as it is being used to modify the noun phrase STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.
