参考答案

　　Explanation

　　1.The correct answer is E

　　There is no error in the sentence.

　　2.The correct answer is D

　　The error in this sentence occurs at (D), where there is a flaw in parallelism. To parallel the noun phrases previously used in the sentence (“his quest...” and “his opposition...”), “his support of” is needed in place of “he supported.”

　　3.The correct answer is D

　　Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the connectives error of the original by using the proper connective "not only...but also" to join the two prepositional phrases, "for its innovative design" and "for its environmentally friendly building practices."
