15. Error Correction



‘You Gotta Be In It to Win It’ by LA Wad under Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial-Share Alike 2.0 Generic



My answers to the second part of the worksheet are below:


Part A)
*Jim Hawkins
*He lacks self-confidence.
*Poverty
* He could not be a man OR -if you really want to use the word ‘successful,’ the following would be okay yet it sounds a bit weird to be honest- he was not successful at being a man?
*Turn on the TV
* Her husband
*People raise/nurture/bring up their children (In my opinion, any of these three words should be acceptable) AND the second part of this question was confusing: “misgrowing of children”—now the correct grammar structure is misgrowth, but you cannot use ‘misgrowth’ for children!!! I guess it is ‘raising children’ OR ‘bringing up children’ in this case.
*Listening to them
*Winn was on a quiz show called ‘Dotto.’-I have a question here Sonja: How can I use ‘as’ here? The reason for me to ask this is because I sometimes use expressions like ‘named/called as’ and I was wondering if it was wrong to use ‘as’ with such verbs. I want to be sure.
* Our clothes
* Men with similar attire/outfits


Part B) Misspelled Words
- Depth or debt(depends on the meaning)
- Masculinity
- Standard
- Professor
- Clothes
- Backlash
- Nominee
- Violence
- Eccentric
- Forty five
- Rituals
