Answer 1

B) While most modern zoos do not teach animals to perform "tricks," they do train animals to respond to certain commands to make them safer to handle, move and examine.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence lacks parallelism, which occurs when there are similar grammatical structures within senteces and paragraphs. In the sentence given, the last part that refers to the reasons why animals are trained has different and incorrect verb forms, which make the sentence difficult to read. Thus, the correct version includes the full infinitive to for the verbs handle, move and examine.
