To identify the underlined word or phrase that should be corrected in each sentence, we need to go through them one by one:
1. Sentence: "Unlike folk dancers(A),which are(B) the product(C) of a single culture(D),ballets is an international art form(E)."
To find the error, we need to identify the subject and verb agreement. In this sentence, the error is with the verb "is" which should be plural to agree with "ballets" (plural form). Therefore, we should correct "is" to "are." The corrected sentence would be: "Unlike folk dancers(A), which are(B) the product(C) of a single culture(D), ballets are an international art form(E)."
2. Sentence: "A mosquito filled(A) with blood is carrying(B) twice it(C) own body weight(D). No error(E)."
There is no error in this sentence. The phrase "twice its own body weight" is correct because "its" is a possessive pronoun that refers to the mosquito.
3. Sentence: "Natural recourses(A) provide raw(B) materials used to(C) produce finished good(D). No error(E)."
The word "recourses" should be corrected to "resources" as it refers to the natural materials. The corrected sentence would be: "Natural resources(A) provide raw(B) materials used to(C) produce finished good(D). No error(E)."
4. Sentence: "Rome,which was(A) the greatest military power(B) in the ancient world,routinely(C) invaded and conquered its weaker(D) neighbors.No error.(E)"
There is no error in this sentence. The relative pronoun "which" is used correctly to provide additional information about Rome.
5. Sentence: "Neither singers on stage(A) or(B) the announcer in a wings could be heard(C) over(D) the noise of the crowd.No error(E)."
The word "a" should be added before "wings" to make it "in a wings" to indicate that the announcer is present in a specific area. The corrected sentence would be: "Neither singers on stage(A) or(B) the announcer in a wings(C) could be heard(D) over(E) the noise of the crowd. No error."
By applying the rules of grammar and understanding the context of the sentences, we were able to identify the errors and correct them accordingly. Good luck with your exam!
