Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: The error is in the segment "by their songs is so".
Correct sentence: Learning to identify birds by their songs is as much fun as spotting them by sight.
Explanation: Use the correlative comparative structure "as ... as" to compare degrees or amounts. The phrase "is as much fun as" is the correct form; "is so much fun as" is not standard in this comparison.
Identify the comparative idea: comparing how fun two activities are.
Fix the structure: change "is so much fun as" to "is as much fun as."
