    Analysis of Each Sentence

    • Sentence (A) is incorrect:
      • The Error: "The claws... as they perched themselves."
      • The Correction: The subject of the sentence is "The claws," but the sentence incorrectly implies the claws (not the eagle) are perching themselves. It should be: "The claws of the eagle curved around the branch as the eagle perched itself..."
    • Sentence (B) is incorrect:
      • The Error: "...to hold farther discussions..."
      • The Correction: "Farther" refers to physical distance. For metaphorical distance or additional depth/time, the correct word is "further." * Sentence (C) is CORRECT:
      • This sentence follows all rules of subject-verb agreement and correctly uses the plural "fences" with the plural relative pronoun "that were."
    • Sentence (D) is incorrect:
      • The Error: "...presenting both side of the argument..."
      • The Correction: The quantifier "both" must be followed by a plural noun. It should be "both sides."
