Choose the type of paragraph below.
W. Michael Blumenthal, a corporate CEO, talks about the mistakes he made in hiring:
"In choosing people for top positions, you have to make sure they have a clear sense of what is right and wrong, a willingness to be truthful, the courage to say what they think and to do what they think is right, even if the politics militate against that. This is the quality that should really be at the top. I was too often impressed by the intelligence and substantive knowledge of an individual and did not always pay enough attention to the question of how honest and courageous and good a person the individual really was."

<span>There are two mistakes in this sentence.
The first mistake is the use of the word "less" when used with the noun "cars." Instead, the correct word should be "fewer." In general, use the word "fewer" when the number of objects can be counted; use the word "less" when the objects cannot be counted. For example: fewer cars on the road (cars can be counted), but less traffic (traffic is a general noun and cannot be counted).
Also, note that the verb "means" does not agree with the subject "cars." Therefore, the correct sentence should read: Fewer cars on the road mean less traffic.</span>
