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

    Solution

    In part A, the verb ‘ are’ is used wrongly with Everyone because Everyone is a singular noun which must take a singular verb.  The phrase " whom has created " is incorrect. The relative pronoun " whom " is used for the object of a verb or preposition, while " who " is used for the subject. In this case, the subject of the verb "has created" is "digital media," which is referred to by the relative pronoun. Therefore, the correct pronoun is " which " (referring to the non-human "digital media"), not "whom." The phrase should be " which has created ."
