Find the sentence in which the bold-faced is used incorrectly.

It is hard for scientists to know how many West Indian manatees there are. They estimate between 2,000 to 5,000. The West Indian manatee has been listed as an endangered species. This means that the population is so low that the West Indian manatee is in danger of becoming extinct. Many die because of accidents with ships or other human causes, such as pollution.

Read the sentence from the introduction [paragraphs 1-7].
Unfortunately, there are no effective treatments for most patients with smell and taste disorders. Additionally, many patients find it impossible to even be properly diagnosed. People with smelling and tasting handicaps rarely receive enough support to help with their quality of life.
Which paragraph from the section "Mirrors can change smells" helps explain what word "effective" is referring to?

A mirror will not alter a smell.


It is true, however, that mirror image molecules can have very different smells. Mirror image molecules are called stereoisomers, but they are not exact copies (think of the relationship between your right and left hands).

Two stereoisomers that with very different aromas are L-carvone and D-carvone. L'carvone smells like spearmint, and D-carvone smells like the spice cumin.

There is much more to learn and discover about the biology and chemistry of taste and smell. Those of us who study the chemical senses hope that our research will lead to tastier and healthier food, reduce the spread of insect-borne disease, improve the lives of people with smell or taste disorders and create a better understanding of the importance of smell and taste.

How does the repetition of the word “and” affect the excerpt?

It creates a stronger rhythm.
It provides important details.
It provides a purpose.
It establishes the main idea.
