12. In this sentence, "amount" is not incorrect, but it's not the most precise word choice. The word "amount" is typically used for uncountable nouns, while "number"
is used for countable nouns. Since you are referring to the countable entities (herds),
"number" would be a more appropriate term to use. Here's the revised sentence:
"Antelopes are gregarious animals that travel in herds ranging in number from a few to several thousand." This change maintains better precision in describing the countable groups of antelopes.
14. The phrase "of what" in the sentence is appropriate and serves to specify the site's identity and purpose. It clarifies that the site being referred to eventually became the city of Denver and that it was settled as a way station for outfitting gold prospectors. Using
"of what" in this context helps provide context and connect the historical development of the site to its future identity as a city.
13. The grammar error in the sentence is the placement of the adverb
"officially." It should be placed before the verb "opened" to clarify the manner in which Emma Willard opened the doors. Here's the corrected sentence: "In 1821, Emma Willard officially opened the doors of the first school in the United States to offer college-level education for women."
10. "Razed" is the past participle form of the verb "raze," which is the correct form to use when describing the destruction of St. Augustine.
9. The sentence you provided has a tense inconsistency. It should be corrected to maintain consistent verb tense throughout. Here's a revised version:"During the 1982-83 El Niño, 90 percent of Peru's fur seal pups died."
8. The phrase "was priced at" is used correctly in the sentence. In this context, "was priced at" indicates the past price of the Model T car when it was introduced in 1908. It is the appropriate verb phrase to convey this information about the historical pricing of the car.
7. Phrase "White blood cells are the largest of red blood cells"
is not grammatically incorrect, but it may be semantically incorrect. White blood cells and red blood cells are two distinct types of blood cells with different characteristics. White blood cells are not typically considered larger than red blood cells.
If it meant to compare white blood cells to something else, it would be more accurate to specify what are comparing them to.
For example:
"White blood cells are larger than red blood cells and are more varied in size and shape."
In this revised sentence, it is clarified that white blood cells are compared to red blood cells and described as larger and more varied.
6. The grammar error in the sentence is the use of both "not only" and "also" together. You should choose one of them to convey the intended meaning.
Here's the corrected sentence:
"The Spanish introduced not only horses but also cattle to the North American continent."
Alternatively:
"The Spanish introduced not only horses to the North American continent but also cattle."
4. The sentence states that the frog lays up to 25 eggs at a time and then swallows them for protection. Therefore,
"they" is used to represent the eggs that the frog lays.
3. The use of "was" is appropriate in this sentence because "the 1980 explosion of Mount St. Helens" is a singular event, and the verb should agree in number with the subject. In this case, the subject is a singular event, so "was" is the correct form of the verb.
2. The correct verb to use is “was”
instead of “were” because
“everything” is singular subject and therefore, the verb should agree in number with the subject.
“was” is he singular form of verb, while :were” is the plural form.
1. The given sentence states that the music on a compact disk (CD) is recorded by lasers.
