a). Rely -relies.

b).  It - its

c). Raised - raising.

d). as - and

e). and - by.

Explanation:

  • The given paragraph contains an error in each line which could be rectified by replacing the incorrect word with the correct word which would assist in making the paragraph grammatically and lexically coherent.
  • The first sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error as the plural verb 'rely' disagrees with the singular noun 'an elephant'.
  • The second sentence includes an error in using the pronoun 'it' instead of using it in the possessive form 'its'.
  • The next sentence has an error as it employs the past participial form instead of gerund form after 'by'.
  • The other two sentences contain a conjunction error('as' instead of 'and') and the use of 'and' to show the location instead of 'by'.
  • Thus, the rectification in these errors would make the paragraph coherent.
