Upon scanning through the question stem, i could see couple of differences or splits
Split # 1: - loggers to hunters and fishing trawelers / loggers,hunters and fishing trawlers
The threats to conservations comes from x,y and z. This is a list, so the correct structure is loggers, hunters and fishing trawelers.
Eliminate B,D and E
Split #2: - fund vs funds
when you are refering to money in general, use of funds is recommended. The word 'fund' generally refers to money set aside for a purpose.
Split #3: - Stem vs Stems
Stem is a singular term and plural form of stem is stems. Here what stem/stems ? --> threats to conservation areas. Both threats and conservation areas are plural, so usage of 'Stems' is correct.
Out of option A and C , we can eliminate option C based on usage of singular verb 'Stem' and the usage of term 'funds'
Lets see the answer choices below
A. the threats to conservation areas stems from loggers, hunters and fishing trawlers, as well as a lack of fund - Correct
The threats is plural so usage of plural term 'Stems' is correct. The money to set aside for a purpose, the purpose here is to hire locan rangers, build infrastructure or train workers, so usage of 'fund' is correct.
B. the threats to conservation areas stem from loggers to hunters and fishing trawlers, as well as a lack of fund - Incorrect
The usage of singular word 'stem' and incorrect form of usage 'loggers to hunters' is incorrect
C. the threats to conservation areas stem from loggers, hunters and fishing trawlers, as well as a lack of funds - Incorrect
This option corrects most of the errors, but the usage of singular 'stem' is incorrect. Also SV error in 'a lack of funds' , funds is plural so use of 'a' for plural funds is incorrect
D. the threats to conservation areas stem from both loggers to hunters and fishing trawlers and as well as a lack of funds - Incorrect
Loggers to hunters - incorrect structure for a list and incorrect usage of singular term 'stem'
E. the threats to conservation areas stem from loggers to hunters and fishing trawlers as well as lack of funding - Incorrect
Loggers to hunters - incorrect structure for a list and incorrect usage of singular term 'stem' make this answer choice incorrect.
Ans A
