Model Answer

| Error | Correction |
|-------|------------|
| identifying | identify |

(The infinitive 'to identify' is needed, not 'to identifying'.)

Explanation

After the infinitive marker 'to', the base form of the verb is used ('to identify'). Using the '-ing' form ('to identifying') is grammatically incorrect. Examiners expect the error and its correction clearly presented — a table or "Error: … / Correction: …" format works well for 1-mark questions of this type.
