In each question below, three sentences are given, each divided into parts. Identify the parts that contain grammatical errors and choose the correct combination from the options. 1. Every spring, Japan is bathe in the pastel pink of cherry blossoms, attracting tourists and local people who celebrate the bloom and gather to take selfies under the trees, but now the spectacular flowers are fading, with climate change. 2. A new study said that cherry trees, which are of enormously cultural and economic significance, and bring in billions of dollars to the country, are blooming earlier than is the norm, and in some places in Japan they do not bloom fully at all. 3. The study found that the peak flowering of Tokyo cherries occurs latter and is less spectacular following winters with little chilling and flowering is delayed by up to 32 days at many sites.

Sentence 1 — Error: “Japan is bathe” is incorrect. The passive voice requires “is bathed” (auxiliary is + past participle bathed). “Bathe” is the base/infinitive form and cannot follow “is” in a passive construction. Additionally, “fading, with climate change” is an imprecise construction — the standard phrase would be “due to climate change” or “because of climate change” — making the sentence grammatically loose. Sentence 2 — Error: “Enormously cultural” is incorrect. “Enormously” is an adverb of degree that collocates with gradable adjectives like “important” or “significant” — not with the adjective “cultural,” which describes a category rather than a degree. The correct modifier is “enormous cultural and economic significance” (adjective, not adverb). The construction “which are of enormously cultural” is therefore grammatically non-standard. Sentence 3 — Error: “Occurs latter” is incorrect. “Latter” means the second of two previously mentioned things — it is not a temporal adverb. The correct word is “later” (adverb indicating a subsequent time). “Latter” and “later” are a classic near-homophone confusion pair, and “occurs latter” is grammatically and contextually incorrect. Since all three sentences contain errors, (d) All 1, 2 and 3 is the correct answer.
