11) Your answer is correct. The error in the sentence is in part (C). The correct phrase should be "that dates to pre-Columbian times." This is because "dates" should be used instead of "date" to agree with the plural object "objects."
12) Your answer is correct. The error in the sentence is in part (B). The correct phrase should be "to be filled" instead of "to be fill." This is because the infinitive form "to be" should be used after the preposition "in."
13) Your answer is correct. There is no error in this sentence.
14) Your answer is correct. The error in the sentence is in part (A). The correct phrase should be "although unemployment in California decreased slightly last month" without the conjunction "but." This is because the conjunction "but" is redundant and not necessary in this sentence.
15) Your answer is correct. The error in the sentence is in part (B). The correct phrase should be "her contribution" instead of "their contribution." This is because the speaker is examining the roles, contribution, and achievements of each individual Black woman, so the pronoun should be singular to match each woman individually.
