"Facing with" an unexpected "increase" in his rent, Mr. Gomez "did not" know what "to do". ?

Explanation

The phrase "facing with" is incorrect in the context provided. The verb "to face" is typically used in English without the preposition "with." When someone is confronted by a situation, the correct way to phrase it is simply "facing" followed by the situation or issue at hand. In this case, Mr. Gomez is encountering an unexpected increase in his rent, so the correct phrase would be "facing an unexpected increase in his rent." The use of "with" alters the meaning and introduces grammatical errors.

The other options in the sentence"increase," "did not," and "to do"are correctly used. "Increase" appropriately describes the rise in rent, "did not" is correctly used to indicate Mr. Gomez's lack of knowledge regarding what to do, and "to do" is the correct infinitive form conveying his uncertainty about how to respond. Therefore, option A, "Facing with," is the only part of the sentence that requires correction, making it the correct choice for identifying an error in this context.
