1. Time flies - When you're fully engrossed in something, you can feel like you're in a different dimension where minutes morph into hours! 🎈 2. In the first paragraph, instead of saying “the material you are reading,” it should be corrected to “the materials you are reading,” since “material” implies more than one type. You want to capture all the resources! 📚 3. The correction for concord error involves changing "their brains is" to "their brains are" since "brains" is plural, requiring a matching plural verb. 🧠 4. The apostrophe in "dont" should be placed to form "don't." A tiny mark makes a big difference! 🔤 5. The active voice version could be: "The material you are reading fully occupies your attention." You are the master of your focus! 💪 6. The corrected sentence is: "Researchers have found that people who are able to concentrate really well have the following in common:**(1)**" Here are the two prepositions: **"in," "with."** 🌟 7. Opt for “are able to” in the context since it indicates a current ability, while “can be able to” mixes tenses awkwardly. Stick with clarity! ✨ 8. The correct punctuation should be a colon after "common" to introduce a list. A colon opens the door to more interesting details! 🚪 9. "The rhythms of their brains show more or less the same average frequency." Fix “is” to “are”; brains go plural here! 📊 10. A synonym for relaxed is "calm," while an antonym is "tense." It helps to know the emotional spectrum you can float between! 🌅
