Explanation:

- Option 1, A: This part of the sentence is correctly structured. It begins a list of things the speaker wants to communicate, using appropriate verbs and articles.

- Option 2, B: This part correctly continues the list from the previous part. It uses parallel structure to maintain readability.

- Option 3, C: Your analysis is correct. There's an error here due to the incorrect verb tense. The phrase "as if it is" should match the hypothetical nature of the situation using "as if it were" to indicate something unreal or unlikely.

- Option 4, D: This part is grammatically correct and logically concludes the sentence without any issues.

- Option 5: No error is incorrect because there is indeed an error in option C.

The correct answer is:

- Option 3, C: needs correction.
