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).

• 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.”

Cultural globalization is a threat… (Correct)

Cultural globalization—it is a phenomenon that has been driven by… (Incorrect)

Cultural globalization—a phenomenon that has been driven by… (Correct)

• 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.

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)
