Explanation

  Sentence Correction

The honor killings that have been perpetuated by societies are exacting a deadly toll on vulnerable individuals, exacerbating the excruciating norms further.

Explanation

In this sentence, there are four errors:

one is related to the use of incorrect verb form;

the second is related to the use of articles;

the third is related to the use of relative pronouns;

the last is related to wordiness.

Error 1: Incorrect Verb Form (“having been perpetuate”)

Error 2: Unnecessary “the” Before “Societies”

The word “societies” is a general plural noun, so “the” is not needed unless referring to specific societies.

Error 3: Incorrect Use of “Which” Instead of “Who”

The relative pronoun “which” is used for things (objects, ideas, animals).

Sentence Correction

• The experimental novel—which blends elements of poetry and prose—is a challenge to traditional notions of storytelling and narrative structure, but it will be widely accepted by the time it is recognized as a masterpiece.

Explanation
In this sentence, the error is the incorrect use of “Will Have Been” (Future Perfect Tense).
We use “will have been” (future perfect) only when emphasizing that action will be completed before another future event.

Explanation

Sentence Correction

• If I am in Lahore, I will contact you.

Explanation

There are two errors in this sentence: one is related to the use of conditional sentences, and the second is related to prepositions.

Error 1: Incorrect Use of “Will” in the If-Clause

In conditional sentences, we do not write “will” in the if-clause (the part after “if”) when referring to a future event.

Instead, we use the present simple or indefinite tense in the if-clause and the future tense (will + verb) in the main clause.

Error 2: Incorrect Use of “Contact to You”

I taught you that the verb “contact” is not followed by the preposition “to” in English.

It is a transitive verb, meaning it takes a direct object.

So, replace “Will” from the first clause and “To” from the second clause to fix the errors.

Explanation

Sentence Correction

If I'm stressed out about something, I tend to have a problem falling asleep.

Explanation

This sentence contains two errors: one, grammatical “have problem”; second, contextual “problem to fall”. If you want to score full marks, you need to correct them.

Error: Incorrect Use of “Problem”

The phrase “have a problem” is incorrect for two reasons:

1. Singular Noun Issue

   The word “problem” is a countable noun, so if you use it in the singular form, it must have an article (“a” or “the”).

2. “Problem” Is Not Naturally Followed by “To + Verb”

   We don’t typically use “problem” with an infinitive (to + verb). Instead, we use a gerund (-ing form) or a gerund phrase after it.

   I have a problem to sleep. (Incorrect)

   I have a problem sleeping. (Correct)

Explanation

Correct of the following:

1. Having been perpetuated for centuries, the systemic inequalities and discriminatory policies of the government, which have been institutionalized, are a form of structural violence that affects marginalized communities.

   
   

Correct Sentence

Having been perpetuated for centuries, the systemic inequalities and discriminatory policies of the government, which have been institutionalized, are a form of structural violence that affects marginalized communities.

Error 1:

Missing Comma After Introductory Phrase

So, place “COMMA” after the word “Centuries” to fix this error.

Error 2:

Misuse of Commas in a Non-Essential Clause

So, place “COMMAS” before the word “WHICH” and after the word “INSTITUTIONALIZED” to fix this error.

Error 3:

Subject-Verb Agreement in the Adjective Clause

So, change the verb “Has” into “Have” to fix this error.

Explanation

Sentence Correction

• The impact of cyber technology on modern society is being studied by researchers, who have found that it has both positive and negative effects.

Explanation

In this sentence, there is just an error related to the “Subject-Verb Agreement in the Relative Clause” or Adjective Clause.

The verb in an adjective clause must agree with the number of the noun it modifies.

In this sentence, the phrase “who has found” is incorrect because the subject of “who” is “researchers”, which is plural.

So, the helping verb “Has” should be changed to “Have” to agree with the plural noun “researchers.”

Explanation

Sentence Correction

• Cultural globalization—a phenomenon that has been driven by technological advancements and economic integration—is a threat to local cultures.

Explanation
In this sentence, there are two errors: one is related to the use of articles before abstract nouns, and the second is related to the use of appositive phrases.

Error 1: Incorrect Use of “The” Before “Cultural Globalization”

Error 2: Unnecessary “It Is” in the Appositive Phrase

Explanation

Sentence Correction

• We cleaned the whole kitchen while our parents were out to dinner.
• We cleaned the entire kitchen while our parents were out to dinner.

Explanation of Errors and Corrections

The error in this sentence lies in the incorrect use of “all” before a singular noun (“kitchen”).

The use of “ALL”

The word “ALL” is always used with plural countable nouns (all the aspirants, all the bureaucrats) and uncountable nouns (all the water, all the information).

However, it cannot be used before singular countable nouns. Instead, we use “the whole” or “the entire” before singular countable nouns.
