<p>Forty years have passed since African-Americans staged a march on Washington, D.C., in an attempt to secure civil rights. No error</p>
<p>I put no error, but this was really the only question in writing that bothered me. There were some others underlined (like Forty years, to secure) but it was between those two for me. For some reason, the comma after D.C. is making the phrase "in an attempt" sound awkward to me. If I were to write it, I would probably use a phrasing that would emphasize the dependency of the clause (such as "attempting to..."). In any case, attempt/no error/neither?</p>
<p>attempt: 0
no error: 1
neither: 0</p>
<p>I put No Error, and I'm 99.9999% sure that is correct.</p>
<p>The comma after D.C. is to separate D.C. (District of Columbia) from the other parts of the sentence. You could just as easily not have "D.C." in there, so you need the comma(s).</p>
<p>attempt: 0
no error: 2
neither: 0</p>
<p>i said no error</p>
<p>but writing section whooped my arse anyway</p>
<p>I said no error as well</p>
<p>I put no error and I'm pretty sure</p>
<p>no error 100percent sure</p>
<p>no error. same w/ churchill</p>
<p>no error.. was there even a question to the status of this?</p>
<p>i said churchill was no error, only bc they said, unlike other primeinisters (before him), blah balh. i said before him or something was wrong because obviously it was other prime ministers before him, they could never be during or after him therefore wordyness and therefore wrong...</p>
