In the sentence, “The provisions food, water, extra paddles, and sleeping bags were piled under the tarp,” what is wrong is that it is missing parenthesis. (A)

Explanation:

How a single phrase or word is inserted in a sentence to explain or define a string of words or a passage which is grammatically complete without it is something that’s very helpful. The process of parenthesis is generally presented by dashes or commas, or marked off within brackets. So, here the right answer would be “The provisions (food, water, extra paddles and sleeping bags) were piled under the tarp.”
