Explanation:

- The sentence in question describes the situation in Louisiana after Hurricane Ida. It uses the words "faced," "battered," "repairing," and "massive."

- The structure suggests some words might be out of place.

- Option 1 (CDBA) proposes changing "repairing" with "faced" and "battered" with "massive," which creates "repairing danger," "faced task," "clearing debris," and "battered damage."

- Option 2 (ABDC) suggests placing "faced" at B, "battered" at D, "repairing" at A, and "massive" at C, leading to "battered task" and "massive debris."

- Option 3 (BADC) recommends swapping "battered" with "faced" and "massive" with "repairing," which results in "battered by Hurricane," "faced danger," "massive task," and "repairing damage." This makes logical sense.

- Option 4 (BACD) places "battered" at A, "faced" at B, "massive" at C, and "repairing" at D, resulting in "repairing task" and "massive damage."

- Option 5 states there's no error, but the sentence seems off without rearranging.
