\item \texttt{array} can only be used in a math environment.
\item You must declare the number and alignment of the columns by using \verb+\begin{array}{crl}+. In this instance, we are declaring one centered column, one right-aligned column, and one left-aligned column.

In the example below, I've chose animal names to make the column alignment more explicit.

\paragraph{Note:} Because the \texttt{array} environment is designed for math applications, rather than a text application like our example, I had to use a $\sim$ to add the spaces in ``naked mole rats''.
If the built-in \texttt{array} environment cannot do all that you want, use the \texttt{amsmath} package and its \texttt{matrix} environment, which provides more options.
