1. Both sentences are grammatically correct, but they have slightly different meanings. "Why did he start the journey?" refers to the reason behind the person starting their journey, while "Why did he start on the journey?" focuses on the act of beginning the journey itself. The choice between the two sentences depends on the specific context and what aspect of the journey you want to emphasize.
2. Both sentences are grammatically correct and convey different meanings. In the sentence "You are ugly because you have a missing piece," the oval is implying that the person is ugly because they possess a missing piece. In the sentence "You are ugly because you are a missing piece," the oval is implying that the person is ugly because they themselves are the missing piece. Both sentences are acceptable, but the intended message may vary depending on the choice of words.
