There's only one error there, and that's the one i pointed out for you.
There's also a vocabulary error nearby, but you didn't catch that, i guess.
The way you and a couple of other posters were going on about how ungrammatical etc the writing was, i thought i must have missed something.
But no, just petty stylistic nitpicking from your own personal POV. The kind of petty critique that's guaranteed to make students uninterested in writing well because it's so arbitrary and specific to a specific teacher/writer/reader.
using two identical conjunctions in a row ain't an error; there's no such 'rule' as you claim. "Alexander Pope poems" ditto. There's nothing better about the two alternatives you list. I doubt you'd be able to give a rational stylistic reason for using your alternatives, either. Just your arbitrary preference.
