Dear hey_thr67,

I'm puzzled. OG 13 SC #26 looks perfectly correct to me. Here's my solution to the question on YouTube:

I would love to know about the error you have found.

There is a semicolon in the main stem that is not present in the answer choice A. So, it makes the stem confusing. Can be a typo also. I normally overlook choice A.

trees; and indirectly

I don't know --- perhaps we have different printings of the OG 13, but in my edition of the OG 13, p. 676, I see:

(A) pollinating banana, breadfruit, and mango trees;
and indirectly help produce

It's true, the semicolon happens to come at the end of the line, so perhaps it would be easy to overlook. Again, perhaps there were earlier and later printings of this volume, and you have an earlier printing before they corrected this error, I don't know.

All I can say is --- in the hard copy of OG 13 I have before my eyes, the prompt and choice (A) are identical, right down to the semicolon.
