Here’s another one.

He misunderstands the scope of の.

He parses it as:

(癡犬の枯骨) をねぶる “Licking the dumb dog’s dry bones” when it should be

癡犬の(枯骨をねぶる) “The dumb dog’s licking of dry bones”

Granted this kind of structure is uncommon in 和文-type stuff, but it’s absurdly common in 漢文 and 漢文訓読体, which comprises a huge part of level-one tests. I don’t get how he could make such simple errors like that except, of course, doing it deliberately.
