    A mining B brings about C the destruction D wildlife
    The answer is B. brings about but I don't know how to correct it

    2. They would rather see the boat race than the cricket match
    A They prefer seeing the boat race than the cricket match
    B Seeing the cricket match is not as likeable as boat race
    C seeing the boat race is rather than watching them
    D They don’t like to see the cricket match as much as the boat race.
    The answer is D but I think it should be A. Do you think D is better than A

    There's no way to correct anything without knowing the question.

    If the exercise is to choose which of A - D means roughly the same as 2, either A, B or D is correct.
    A is not so good because the usual phrase is "prefer X to Y", not "prefer X than Y"
    B is a mess.
    D is also a dog's breakfast. I'd find it hard to choose any of them, but maybe I'd tick A.
