Answer

Hi Hilary, Thank you for your help.

Answer

2. is incorrect.  you can't say 'by the produce of his poor judgement'.  The problems are 'a result of his poor judgement', or, 'the product of his poor judgement.'

Answer

Thank you so much!! I fixed it.

Answer

1 and 3 are correct and have the same meaning. However 2 is a little off because 'produce' as a noun usually refers to food. For example "This market has fresh produce".
