1.Since the last years of the 19th century Europe has experienced a very deep crisis.
2 Put the verbs into the past tense.
3. Either one of those would work.
4. A new view of man and nature emerged.
Both 6 and 7 are fine.
1) Grammatical and lexical considerations:
- The word "live" should be changed to "experience" to make the sentence grammatically correct: "Since the last years of the 19th century, Europe started to experience a very deep crisis."
- "Had been experienced" could also work, but it would change the sentence structure to the past perfect tense: "Since the last years of the 19th century, Europe had experienced a very deep crisis."
2) Grammatical and lexical considerations:
- "Subconscius" should be changed to "subconscious" for correct spelling: "Freud introduces the idea of the subconscious, which has great influence on the human psyche."
3) Grammatical and lexical considerations:
- "Made" can be replaced with "launched" or "conducted" for more precise meaning: "A strong fight was launched/conducted against the use of atomic bombs."
4) Grammatical and lexical considerations:
- "Tme" should be changed to "time" for correct spelling: "William James distinguished between historical time and psychological time."
5) Grammatical and lexical considerations:
- "Came out," "derived," and "emerged" are all correct choices to replace "It emerged". However, "emerged" seems to be the most suitable in this context: "A new view of man and nature emerged."
6) Grammatical and lexical considerations:
- "Distruction" should be changed to "destruction" for correct spelling: "The 1940s were characterized by war and destruction."
7) Grammatical and lexical considerations:
- "Grew" is correct, but you can also consider using "increased" or "intensified" for more variety: "Owing to the loss of cultural values, a feeling of frustration grew/increased/intensified."
