In paragraph 4 in Swimming Strokes by Lee Carroll, I found 2 errors in subject-verb agreement, 1 error in parallelism, and 2 errors in pronoun-antecedent agreement. Are these answers correct because the errors in this passage range from 0 errors to 3 errors and nothing higher than 3 errors in each paragraph?

The paragraph:

Paragraph 4: One of the easiest strokes for people who are just learning to swim are the backstroke because the swimmer does not put their faces in the water. Your nose and mouth stay above the water, and they can breathe naturally. To do a backstroke, lie supine in the water, do a flutter kick to propel you through the water, and move your arms backward through the water in a windmill fashion to pull yourself. This stroke may seem comfortable and it is easy to do, but it has one major drawback: You couldn't see where you are going.

I only found one error in subject-verb agreement, but two in pronoun-antecedent agreement.

To confirm if your answers are correct, let's break down the different types of errors and count the occurrences:

1. Subject-verb agreement: In this case, we need to ensure that the subject and verb in a sentence agree in terms of number (singular or plural). You mentioned 2 errors in this category. To identify them, you would need to locate sentences where the subject and verb do not match in number. For example, if a singular subject is followed by a plural verb or vice versa. Double-check those occurrences in paragraph 4 to verify the number of errors you found.

2. Parallelism: Parallelism refers to maintaining consistent grammatical structure within a sentence or a list. You indicated 1 error in parallelism. To identify this error, search for sentences or lists where the elements are not presented in a balanced or parallel way. Verify this occurrence in paragraph 4 to confirm the number of errors.

3. Pronoun-antecedent agreement: Pronouns need to agree with their antecedents in terms of number, gender, and person. You mentioned 2 errors in this category. Examine the pronouns used in paragraph 4 and check if they align correctly with their antecedents. If you find instances where the pronouns do not match their antecedents, then your count is accurate.

Once you have reviewed each category thoroughly in the given paragraph, you will be able to determine if your answers are correct. Remember, finding errors in writing can sometimes be subjective, so it's essential to provide clear explanations for the identified errors.
