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

    Solution

    Part B: The phrase "which dialogue" is a grammatical error. "Which" is a relative pronoun used to introduce a non-restrictive clause or to refer to a specific item from a group. In this context, it doesn't fit logically or grammatically. The sentence is trying to describe a situation where dialogue is impossible. A more fitting construction would be "where dialogue is impossible" or "in which dialogue is impossible." The word "which" is incorrectly used as a conjunction here.  In the part E, “is detect” is wrong because the auxiliary verb is should take the third form of the main verb, i.e, detected.
