The two errors in the list are:

  1. The list is unparallel in substance: The items in the list do not maintain a consistent structure, which makes them feel disjointed and unrelated. For example, "should move to the sitting area" and "the defendent should have no contact" have different forms and do not align in grammatical structure.

  2. The list contains unparallel grammar: The phrasing of the list items uses inconsistent grammatical forms. For instance, some items start with verbs (e.g., "should move") while others use different grammatical constructions, leading to a lack of parallelism in grammar.

Note: The term "defendent" also contains a spelling error and should be "defendant," but this does not seem to be one of the specifically requested errors in your options.
