Incorrect. The main clause is in the past tense (“was adamant”), so the subordinate clause must maintain tense consistency using the past perfect “had not come” to indicate an action prior to the past reporting. Example: “She was certain that the package had arrived on time.” (Not: “She was certain that the package has arrived on time.”)

Incorrect. The noun “funds” requires a possessive form to show ownership. “Banks funds” should be “bank’s funds” (singular possessive) or “banks’ funds” (plural possessive). Since the reference is to a bank’s database, the singular possessive “bank’s” is appropriate. Example: “The hacker tried to steal the company’s data.” (Not: “The hacker tried to steal the company data.”)

Incorrect. The quantifier “much” is used with uncountable nouns, while “many” is used with countable nouns like “books.” Therefore, “how much books” should be replaced with “how many books.” Example: “I cannot count how many pages I have written.” (Not: “I cannot count how much pages I have written.”)

Incorrect. The phrase “from through” is unidiomatic. The correct preposition after “from” is “around” or simply a direct time reference. Additionally, “stretching” correctly functions as a participle modifying “period.” Therefore, “stretching from through” should be replaced with “stretching from around.” Example: “The era stretching from around 500 BC to 300 AD was transformative.” (Not: “The era stretching from through 500 BC to 300 AD was transformative.”)

Incorrect. The phrase “way to much” is incorrect; the correct spelling is “way too much.” Additionally, “has eaten way too much food to digest” is unidiomatic. The correct expression is “has had way too much food to metabolise” or “to digest,” where “had” means consumed. Example: “She has had way too much caffeine today.” (Not: “She has eaten way to much caffeine today.”)

Incorrect. When the subject is followed by an additive phrase such as “along with,” the verb agrees with the main subject, not the words in the phrase. Here, the main subject is “The bank manager” (singular), so the verb should be “is” instead of “are.” Example: “The teacher, along with her students, is attending the seminar.” (Not: “The teacher, along with her students, are attending the seminar.”)

Incorrect. The preposition “despite” must be followed by a noun or gerund, not a clause. To introduce a clause expressing contrast, the conjunction “although” should be used. Therefore, “despite they lost” should be replaced with “although they lost.” Example: “Although it rained, we went out.” (Not: “Despite it rained, we went out.”)

Incorrect. The possessive pronoun “yours” should be used instead of the possessive adjective “your” because no noun follows it. “Yours” stands alone, meaning “your face.” Example: “I lost my pen; can I borrow yours?” (Not: “I lost my pen; can I borrow your?”)

Incorrect. The phrase “is used to say” is incorrect because “is” does not agree with the compound subject “My friends and my brother.” The correct expression is “used to say,” where “used to” is a modal-like phrase indicating a past habit. Example: “They used to visit us every summer.” (Not: “They are used to visit us every summer.”)

Incorrect. The phrasal verb “call back” means to return a phone call or to recall someone, which does not fit the context. The correct phrasal verb is “call off,” which means to cancel. Example: “They decided to call off the meeting due to bad weather.” (Not: “They decided to call back the meeting due to bad weather.”)

Incorrect. The passive voice requires “were + past participle,” not “were + present participle.” The past participle of “expose” is “exposed.” Therefore, “were exposing to” should be replaced with “were exposed to.” Example: “The workers were exposed to hazardous chemicals.” (Not: “The workers were exposing to hazardous chemicals.”)

Incorrect. The specific past time reference “The day before yesterday” requires the simple past tense, not the present tense. Therefore, “dies” should be replaced with “died.” Example: “Yesterday, the athlete died from a heart attack.” (Not: “Yesterday, the athlete dies from a heart attack.”)

Incorrect. The relative pronoun “whom” should be used instead of “who” because it is the object of the verb “had not seen.” Additionally, the past perfect tense “had not seen” is correct for an action completed before another past action (“met”). Example: “She met a colleague whom she had not seen in years.” (Not: “She met a colleague who she had not seen in years.”)

Incorrect. When comparing one person with all others of the same group, the comparative degree “greater” is used with “any other.” The superlative “greatest” is incorrect here. Example: “She is taller than any other girl in her class.” (Not: “She is tallest than any girl in her class.”)

Incorrect. The verb “enjoy” is followed by a gerund (verb + ing), not an infinitive. Therefore, “to share” should be replaced with “sharing.” Example: “She enjoys reading novels in her free time.” (Not: “She enjoys to read novels in her free time.”)

Incorrect. The correct idiomatic expression is “under the auspices of,” meaning with the support or patronage of. The prepositions “by” and “from” are incorrect in this phrase. Example: “The event was held under the auspices of the cultural ministry.” (Not: “The event was held by the auspices from the cultural ministry.”)

Incorrect. The compound subject “Food and beverage” refers to a single industry sector and is treated as a singular unit. Therefore, the singular verb “is” should be used. Example: “Bread and butter is a common breakfast.” (Not: “Bread and butter are a common breakfast” when referring to a single item.)

Incorrect. The preposition “since” is used to indicate a point in time when an action began and continues to the present, while “from” indicates origin or a starting point for a duration. Therefore, “from” should be replaced with “since.” Example: “He has not eaten since yesterday.” (Not: “He has not eaten from yesterday.”)

Incorrect. The sentence requires parallel structure with “demanding.” The second verb should also be in the present continuous tense “are discovering” to maintain parallelism. Therefore, “and discovered” should be replaced with “and discovering.” Example: “People are asking questions and discovering the truth.” (Not: “People are asking questions and discovered the truth.”)

Incorrect. The verb “untie” must be in the past tense “untied” to maintain consistency with the past tense “bent.” The adverb “impulsively” correctly modifies the verb “bent.” Example: “She bent quickly and untied the ropes.” (Not: “She bent quickly and untie the ropes.”)
