There is an error in sentence number 2.
There is an error in sentence number 3.
There are no errors in paragraph B.

Answer 1

There is an error in sentence number 3.

Answer 2

There is an error in sentence number 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence 3 contains an error in spelling. In this sentence, the author suggests that a certain behaviour is "epic." However, he wants to turn the adjective "epic" into an adverb that modifies the word "fail." The correct spelling of such a word would be "epically," as opposed to "epicly."
