A.

B.

C.
Duncan was nervous to ride the perilous roller-coaster eating a big lunch at the amusement park.
D.
Without the appropriate equipment, it was hard to climb the mountain.

Answer 1

D is the only one that doesn't include an error.

Step-by-step explanation:

For A:

Devon wore his new grey shoes on his first day at work.

For B:
B is using the passive voice (which is not always a bad thing), which changes the subject-verb relationship in the sentence. If you read B literally, its implication is that Madeline's shoes were completely exhausted.

"Completely exhausted from the day's activities, Madeline's shoes..."

It attaches the verb

A better sentence would be: Completely exhausted from the day's activities, Madeline threw off her shoes as soon as she walked into the house.

For C:

Duncan was nervous about riding the perilous roller-coaster after eating a big lunch at the amusement park.
