I already corrected these sentences.
What happened each time I cut and past my answers the same things reappeared, please check my new post. Thank you
7) The sentence is correct as it is. There is no error. It correctly uses the phrase "suffers from" to describe the air pollution in Mexico City, mentions "kinds of air pollution" to refer to the two different types, and uses "or" correctly to give two options.
8) The sentence is incorrect. It should be "which, on casual inspection" instead of "which on casual inspection." The phrase "which on casual inspection" is a non-restrictive clause and requires a comma before and after it.
9) The sentence is correct as it is. There is no error. It correctly uses the phrase "crimes like" to describe the type of white-collar crimes, uses "willing to promise" correctly to indicate the willingness of prosecutors to make a promise, and uses "for information from those who are implicated" correctly to explain the purpose of the promise.
10) The sentence is correct as it is. There is no error. It correctly uses "what" to compare Hegel and Machiavelli, uses "has" to indicate the influence of Machiavelli, and uses "very" before "devil" to emphasize the degree of responsibility.
11) The sentence is correct as it is. There is no error. It correctly uses "No Chinese" to indicate the absence of objects from China, uses "no object of any kind" to indicate the absence of objects in general, and uses "that date to" to specify the time period.
12) The sentence is incorrect. It should be "to be filled" instead of "to be." The phrase "to be filled" is the correct form to indicate the action of filling positions.
13) The sentence is correct as it is. There is no error. It correctly uses "received by her office" to describe the source of the letters, uses "Senator Addison's appeals" to represent the actions of Senator Addison, and uses "dissatisfied" to describe the state of the storekeepers, small homeowners, and suburbanites.
14) The sentence is incorrect. It should be "although" instead of "but." The word "although" is used to introduce a contrasting idea, while "but" is used to show an opposite or contradictory relationship.
15) The sentence is correct as it is. There is no error. It correctly uses "will examine" to indicate the future action of the speaker, uses "their contribution" to refer to the contributions of Gwendolyn Brooks, Lorraine Hansberry, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Mary Church Terrell, and uses "in many phases" to describe the different aspects of American life.
