Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error of parallelism. In this sentence, 'carefully' and 'accurately' are both adjectives, but 'with precision' is not. The correct sentence will replace 'with precision' with 'precisely'. Thus, the correct sentence will be: The engineer was told to calculate the measurements carefully, accurately and precisely.
