  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).
