1. For sentence 2: The phrase "lags behind other nations" is grammatically correct, "at" is the wrong preposition here. "For" does not fit the context, no comma needs deletion, and "behinds" is not a valid word.
2. For sentence 5: The sentence has a redundant "because" creating a run-on issue. Removing it fixes the structure; changing "However" to "Next" is illogical, no comma is needed after "citizen", and "unnecessary" is the correct word form.

1. For sentence 5: "Others" correctly refers to other insects, "in the ground/underground" is prepositionally correct, and the comma after "underground" is needed to set off the example clause. No changes are required.
2. For replacing "core" in sentence 1: The sentence contrasts invertebrates (no internal bones) with having an external skeleton. "Internal" directly opposes "external" and accurately describes the type of bones insects lack; the other options do not fit the biological context.

Answer:

1. C. Change at to for
2. C. Delete because
