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

    Solution

    • Part A: The phrase "democratic lies" has the error in parts of speech. Democratic must be replaced by its noun here. It should be "democracy”.
    • Part C: The phrase "how casting their vote" is grammatically incorrect. It should be "how to cast their vote" or "how they cast their vote". The word "casting" is a gerund that needs to be part of a proper verbal phrase. The infinitive "to cast" is the correct form to follow "deciding how."
