Poikliotherms can subsist in what would be fatally food-depleted environments; they expend over 70% less energy than homeotherms per pound of body weight which allowed them to survive on far less food.
A weight which allowed
B weight, which allows
C weight which has allowed
D weight that has been allowing
E weight allowing

can anyone explain y e is wrong
It does not matter how many times you get knocked down , but how many times you get up
