The Pronoun Agreement error is hard to catch.
(A) “to” is a preposition. Can you be a tourist to somewhere? Yes indeed.
(B) “number” is a counting word, so let’s check to make sure it shouldn’t be “amount.” You can
count tourists so “number” is correct.
(C) “almost” is an adverb modifying “three times.” Checks out fine.
(D) “that of” refers to tourists. “Tourists” is plural so change that to those.
