Now that you've spotted the problems of shift of person and shift of number, revise the paragraph by removing these inconsistenc
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Paragraph rewritten with consistency: " In the story, "The Valiant Woman" by J. J. Powers, we find that in judging people we overlook most of the characteristics that draw us to him (them), but we do so without realizing it. You (we) can draw inaccurate conclusions about a person by misjudging their facial expressions, their physical stamina, and their obvious personality traits. When people (we) are blinded by false superiority, they (we) judge a person incorrectly because they (we) fail to see them as they really are."

Explanation:

To generate consistency in the above passage, you must keep the message linked to a single narrative, keeping pronouns fixed to something or someone. For this it is necessary that you when speaking with readers always use the pronouns "we", "us", while, when referring to the people being judged, always use the pronouns "they" and "them". In this way the passage will show consistency, as shown above.

Which sentence does not contain any punctuation errors?
tiny-mole [99]
Both B and D are correct forms - the last comma is optional.
I would use probably use a comma  here because the brothers' tasks are so diverse. However, I am not forced to use it - it is optional.

I would not use it here:
I am considering a HP, Dell and Lenovo as possibilities for my next computer.
(Because they are not diverse - they are all brands of computers). 

What's wrong with A - It sound as if your brothers dropped the dishes as they took them out of the dishwasher and had to clean up all those broken washed dishes.
C is wrong because of the unecessary common after the "and".
