Correct Answer: write poems
Solution : The part containing the error is the third option.
Explanation: To maintain parallelism and grammatical consistency, the verbs used for the activities should be in the same form. In this case, "reading" is a gerund (the -ing form of the verb used as a noun), and for consistency, the verb related to writing poems should also be in gerund form. Therefore, instead of "write" which is the base form of the verb, we should use "writing" in the gerund form.
So, the correct sentence would be: I like reading fictional stories besides writing poems.
