The known circuit from part (b) lets us apply $U_{\mathcal{I}}$ without querying the faulty oracle. Their composition satisfiesBecause $a=00\cdots 01$, only the last answer qubit is flipped in the exceptional case.

Prepare the answer register asSince $X|-⟩=-|-⟩$, quantum phase kickback gives, for an arbitrary search-register state,The answer register is unchanged and factors out. The induced operation on the first register is thereforeThis is the marked-state phase oracle from a single faulty identity-oracle query.
