In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error. Cyclone Idai killed at least 157 people in Zimbabwe and Mozambique although it tore across Southern Africa.

In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error. Cyclone Idai killed at least 157 people in Zimbabwe and Mozambique although it tore across Southern Africa. Correct Answer although

The word 'although' is used to mean 'in spite of or even though'. This doesn't make sense in the context of this sentence as the killing of the people by the cyclone is a result of it tearing across South Africa, not despite it.

It would be better to rewrite the sentence as:

Cyclone Idai killed at least 157 people in Zimbabwe and Mozambique as it tore across Southern Africa. 

Therefore, the part in option 3 has the error.

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. Genetic variation is the cornerstone of evolution, without which there can be no natural selection, and so a low genetic diversity decreases the ability of a species to survive and reproduce, explains lead author Yoshan Moodley, Professor at the Department of Zoology, University of Venda in South Africa. Two centuries ago, the black rhinoceros – which roamed much of sub Saharan Africa – had 64 different genetic lineages; but today only 20 of these lineages remain, says the paper. The species is now restricted to five countries, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Genetically unique populations that once existed in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Mozambique, Malawi and Angola have disappeared. The origins of the 'genetic erosion' coincided with colonial rule in Africa and the popularity of big game hunting. From the second half of the 20th century, however, poaching for horns has dramatically depleted their population and genetic diversity, especially in Kenya and Tanzania.
Sub Sharan Africa has lost how many black rhino genetic lineages in 200 years?
