Which of the following is NOT grammatically correct?
Marine debris which is known to cause entanglement ①includes derelict fishing gear such as nets and mono-filament line and also six-pack rings and fishing bait box strapping bands. This debris can cause death by drowning, suffocation, strangulation, starvation through reduced ②feeding efficiency, and injuries. Particularly affected ③is seals and sea lions, probably due to their very inquisitive nature of investigating objects in their environment. Entanglement rates in these animals of up to 7.9% of a population ④have been recorded. Furthermore, in some instances entanglement is a threat to the recovery of already ⑤reduced population sizes.

어법상 틀린 것은 "is"이며, 복수 동사 "are"로 고쳐야 한다.
이 문장은 보어 "Particularly affected"가 앞으로 나간 도치 구문으로, 진짜 주어는 뒤의 "seals and sea lions"이다. 주어-동사 수일치에 따라 복수 동사를 쓴다.
"includes"는 관계절 앞의 단수 주어 "Marine debris"에 맞춘 단수 동사로 옳다.
"feeding"은 "efficiency"와 함께 '섭식 효율'을 이루는 동명사로 옳다.
"have been recorded"는 복수 주어 "Entanglement rates"에 맞고, 비율이 '기록된' 것이므로 수동태도 옳다.
"reduced"는 "population sizes"를 수식하는 과거분사로, 개체 수가 '줄어든' 상태를 나타내어 옳다.
