Answer 1

Answer:

A. Precisely, accurately and quickly

This sentence contains an error in parallel structure. When you list items in a sentence, they must follow the same grammatical form.

• In the original sentence, "with precision" is a prepositional phrase, while "accurately" and "quickly" are adverbs.

• To make the sentence correct and parallel, all three descriptors must be changed into adverbs: precisely, accurately, and quickly.
