Answer:
Quotation 1 contains a capitalization error.
Quotation 2 wrongly uses 'ellipses.'
Quotation 3 makes incorrect use of a comma.
Explanation:
The first quotation communicates a complete sentence and therefore, the first letter must be capitalized('The brave men') to make it grammatically correct.
In the second quotation, ellipses have been used incorrectly. It is a punctuation mark consisting of three periods('...') to indicate the omission of a word or phrase that can be inferred from the text. It communicates a complete idea but in this quotation, the idea is not completed after 'nation...' and therefore, the readers are not able to understand it.
The last quotation employs comma inappropriately succeeding the word 'finally' as the sentence is quite short and the use of comma unnecessarily breaks its meaning. There is no need for a comma here as the meaning is more clear and precise without using it.
In this excerpt, we can read the conclusion of Victor Frankenstein about science: in the 19th century, scientists pursue their studies at any personal or moral cost:
"With a confusion of ideas only to be accounted for by my extreme youth and my want of a guide on such matters, I had retrod the steps of nowledge along the paths of time and exchanged the discoveries of recent inquirers for the dreams of forgotten alchemists. Besides, I had a contempt for the uses of modern natural philosophy. It was very different when the masters of the science sought immortality and power; such views, although futile, were grand; but now the scene was changed. The ambition of the inquirer seemed to limit itself to the annihilation of those visions on which my interest in science was chiefly founded. I was required to exchange chimeras of boundless grandeur for realities of little worth.
Such were my reflections during the first two or three days of my residence at Ingolstadt, which were chiefly spent in becoming acquainted with the localities and the principal residents (..)"
When the objective of the science experiments is only the recognition, the need for making something original and spectacular, to be regarded by other scientists the results could be terrible. For example, the creation of the poor monster of Frankenstein story.
