Can you check these sentences and tell me if they are possible? Thank you very much in advance.
1) The author employed first-or third-person narration (and not "the" first person narration).
2)A preface by the author precedes Defoe's novels.
2) Robinson aims at realizing himself without considering his father's advice.
3)He is searching/looking for his own identity (are both possible?)disregarding his father's ideals.
4) Can you start a paragraph by saying:
To sum up the 18th century novels shared the following features.
5)Her magic is maleficent and results form/originates from/is the result of a pact with the devil (are all alternatives possible?)
6) Coffee houses sprang up/were established/rose/grew in importance (are they all possible?)
7) You were asked to talk about the stucture of English society and not about its political institutions and ideals. As you digressed from the main subject, the content of your paragraph does not reach the standart required (how can I express that the evaluation is below standard, poor, below par?)
8) Never use in a paragraph. Replace them with sentence connectors such as "firstly", "secondly" and finally.

on #4: To sum up, = if you put a comma after this phrase, it will not be misread.
#5. Just not "from" = typo is "form"
#7. What's wrong with what you have, but "standart" should be "standard" = the other expressions in parentheses are fine, if you wish.
#8. The first sentence would be better with adding "it/that, etc." in a paragraph.

The adventure begins 8. In paragraph 11 and 12, the author incorporates nonfiction elements into this fictional story. What effect might this have on the reader?
1) The sentence is possible, but it would be more accurate to say "first-person" or "third-person" narration instead of "the first person narration."
2) The sentence is possible, but there is a typo. It should be: "A preface by the author precedes Defoe's novels."
3) The sentence is possible but could be improved grammatically. It could be rewritten as: "Robinson aims to realize himself without considering his father's advice."
4) Yes, you can start a paragraph by saying "To sum up, the 18th-century novels shared the following features."
5) Yes, all the alternatives are possible. You can say "Her magic is maleficent and results from a pact with the devil" or "Her magic is maleficent and originates from a pact with the devil" or "Her magic is maleficent and is the result of a pact with the devil."
6) Yes, all the alternatives are possible. You can say "Coffee houses sprang up," "Coffee houses were established," "Coffee houses rose," or "Coffee houses grew in importance."
7) To express that the evaluation is below standard, poor, or below par, you could say: "As you deviated from the main subject, the content of your paragraph does not meet the required standards," or "As you went off-topic, the content of your paragraph falls below the expected standard."
8) It is acceptable to use "never" in a paragraph, but it is often suggested to replace it with sentence connectors such as "firstly," "secondly," and "finally" to create a more coherent and structured paragraph.
