Underline and number the error: *1) Students increasing turn to the Internet to. Give a correction of the error: Error no 1: The text here should read Students increasingly turn to the Internet to. Explain: because an adverb, not an adjective, is needed to modify the verb turn to.

However, this study and it s results have been criticized for not being detailed enough. Apparently, the authors chosed not to take some sources into consideration. Error no 1. The text here should read because Error no 2. The text here should read because
