<p>[Questionable means were often used by the Roman Empire, in attempting to bring its] version of law and order to provinces</p>

<p>[Often by questionable means, the Roman Empire attempted to bring its] version of law and order to provinces.</p>

<h2>Q2 why is the first one wrong?</h2>

<h2>Q3 Kind of a broad question... but I sort of want to know how tenses relate to sentences... Like start with present, then have a comma, and go to past perfect/future perfect, etc. What are the rules to this? Can someone give me the "yes and no's" to tenses? Is a sentence without commas supposed to only have one tense? </h2>

<p>The friendly competition between my older sister and I began as.....</p>

<h2>Q4 I couldn't tell if "I" was supposed to be in the object form. How am I supposed to tell? It isn't receiving the action of any verb; there isn't even a verb in between it and the subject. Someone please help me in differentiating I/Me.</h2>

<p>Professor Chen repeated her point that the hero, if given the chance to relive the moment, would choose to (do it)</p>

<h2>Q5 Why is "do it" wrong? Lack of clarity? What should be replaced instead? I thought that it was pretty clear.... that the hero would relive the chance. Oh well. </h2>

<p>The professor's insistence on high standards and rigorous examinations are not, despite what students think, part of a plan to withhold high grades (from them). </p>

<h2>Q6 WHy is from them wrong? Lack of clarity again? How do I know when a pronoun is vague? I mean it seemed pretty clear to me that "them" referred to students..</h2>

<p>subject is “programming difficulties” or even simpler, difficulties</p>

<p>first one is very wordy and is passive voice</p>

<p>ar…what?</p>

<p>IT should be between my older sister and me. “began” is the verb of the subject “competition”. YOu use “I” when “I” is doing the main action. </p>

<p>I donno…it seems to me that it should naturally, be “…do so” you know?
hm…“it” is not right. You aren’t DOING “the moment”.</p>

<p>“them” is vague b/c there are like, three things in that sentence that the “them” could refer to: standards, examinations, students…</p>

<p>Q3. I get what you’re saying but that’s WAY too broad a question to answer here, provide a specific example and we can tell you where you’re going wrong</p>

<p>Q5. “do so”</p>

<p>Nvm about Q3. is there a rule associated with the “do so”? Thanks for the rest.</p>

<p>well there’s nothing that the ‘it’ can refer to in that sentence to make sense. he can’t do the ‘moment’ and its supposed to refer to him reliving it so ‘it’ cant work.</p>
