Answer 1

Answer:

1. Change popullation to population

2. Change there to their

3. Change knows to knew

4. Change cinder to Cinder

5. Change the worlds to world's

Explanation:

1. The word "popullation" in sentence 2 is wrongly spelt. It should have been spelt as "population" - population refers to the large community of people, in this case, it was used to refer to humans & androids.

2. The word "there" is a word used to describe the location or position of a thing or object. However, in sentence 3, the right word to use in the context of the narrative is the possessive pronoun "their" (referring to the lunar people).

3. The word "knows" in sentence 4 connotes a presents tense, however, since this is a narrative (an event which already took place), the word should have been rendered in the past tense form as "knew".

4. The word "cinder" in sentence 5 is the name of the girl spoken of in sentence 4 which implies that the word is a noun & as such, it should begin with an upper case letter, that is "Cinder".

5. The word "world" in sentence 8 is used in the possessive form in the context of and as such, it should have been spelt as "world's".
