Answer:

See the corrections below;

1. Synthetic Plant Creates Fuel from Sunlight

British scientists might have solved one of chemistry’s most difficult issues: the creation of a synthetic leaf.

2. Researchers at the Occidental Research Bureau have struggled for three decades to produce a man-made leaf able to absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere and convert it into chemical energy. Yet now it seems that they have at long last achieved their goal.

3. “Everyone in the bureau is responsible for this success,” said Professor Giles Smiley, the chief scientist leading the research efforts. The staff’s attitude has been faultless.

Explanation:

In making sentences, the writer should ensure that there is harmony between the subjects and the verb in the sentences. In the first sentence above, the plural verb 'have' agrees with the plural subject, 'British Scientists'. In the second sentence also, the plural subject, 'Researchers' also agrees with the plural verb, 'have'.

In the last sentence, the collective pronoun, 'everyone' matches with the singular verb, 'is'. Staff is also a collective pronoun. When acting as a single unit, in this case describing their attitude, a singular verb in this case, 'has' is used.

how would I start out this essay in the introduction paragraph? (Write a comparative essay in which you compare and contrast the
OLga [1]

For the introductory paragraph, you should start by introducing broad ideas about the subject at hand. In this particular case, it would be a good idea to provide some background information about Sonia Nazario and maybe a little bit of information about his biographies and editorials. Nothing in your introductory paragraph should compare or contrast the two at all...you should save this for your body paragraphs. Make sure your thesis statement is the very last sentence of your introductory paragraph...this is the most important thing when it comes to most English teachers.
