Original:
As the nights draw in and the rain lashes down, it's all too easy to keep yourself indoors wrapped up against the ills and chills. Or, if you have to venture out, doing so only if cocooned in your car with the heating on full blast... Dr. Terrence Latimer, Chief Medical Officer for the famous Team Turbulence, says; "The key is not to separate riding a bike from your other daily activities, but on the contrary to integrate it. Riding to work is the best activity, as that gets you in the saddle every day however, not everyone lives close enough to the office to do that. You don't have to pedal the whole distance, though, as some trains do allow bikes on board. Where to put your bike at work can also be a concern, but if space is an issue then technology has the answer folding bikes.

I'm about 95% sure I got the 4 mistakes (I tried making them bold and underlined to stand out)! I want to explain the usage of colons/semi-colons though to help you in the future.
Colons are usually used in place of a dash (-) and can be used for listing items or noting them. I think the last sentence is a perfect example of that. Notice how "folding bikes" is being noted as "the answer." This would be the perfect place to put a colon, therefore: "... if space is an issue then technology has the answer: folding bikes."
Semi-colons are used as a break in a sentence. Sometimes people use it as a "period" to continue two thoughts in a sentence that go together, but are different enough to where they need a break in between. Semi-colons are also used many times before words like "therefore" or "however." I'm sure there's a list out there, but those two were the first to come to mind.
I hope this helps! :)
Which two sentences in these excerpts reflect the common theme of soldiers’ reluctance to talk about their war experiences?
Ambush
by Tim O'Brien (excerpt)
When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had ever killed anyone. She knew about the war; she knew I'd been a soldier. "You keep writing war stories," she said, "so I guess you must've killed somebody." It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while. Someday, I hope, she'll ask again. But here I want to pretend she's a grown-up. I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening, and then I want to say to her that as a little girl she was absolutely right. This is why I keep writing war stories:
Symptoms
by John Steinbeck (excerpt)
If they had been reticent men it would have been different, but some of them were talkers and some were even boasters. They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore. This was considered heroic in them. It was thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. But many of these men had no such consideration in any other field.
Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple. They did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember.

Answer: It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while
They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore
Explanation:
The two sentences in these excerpts that reflect the common theme of soldiers’ reluctance to talk about their war experiences include:
• It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while.
• They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore.
From the first excerpt, when the daughter of the soldier asked him if he had ever killed anyone, he lied and said no even though he had killed someone because he couldn't being himself to telling his young daughter that he as killed someone before.
From the second excerpt, the soldiers would discuss their experiences up to the time of battle and then won't talk about it anymore and this was thought to be heroic in them.

the mountain and the mouse story
Answer:
One day there was a battle of wits between a mountain and a mouse. The mountain said, “What a poor little thing you are!”
The mouse snapped, “I know I am not as big as you are. But, then, you are not as small as I am.” “Big size has big advantages,” said the mountain, “I can stop the clouds sailing across the sky.”
“So you can,” agreed the mouse. “But you can’t stop me from making big holes in your very foundation, can you?”
The tiny mouse outwitted the mighty mountain.

Write a letter to a friend describing a difficult situation you are going through at the moment.
Answer:
A letter is a written communication transmitted through a medium from one person (or group of people).
Explanation:
Dear jhon,
I write that letter to you and ask you for advice, because I can always count on you. This letter I'm passing through.
I have social anxiety symptoms and cannot say that I have this disease; but I feel great fear and discomfort as I perform the most simple social activity. Anybody at all, I don't know. I've got no friends apart from you. For more than six months I haven't left the house. When I came to go and meet the people, I was nervous, respiratory and trembling all across my mind. I stopped doing any kind of activity to avoid such sensations, including leaving my home.
I'm afraid I am living by myself all the time, but I can't see a future but total solitude, which causes me to cry out, to suffer hours and hours in advance.
But I wanted to speak with someone, so I have chosen you, I'm ashamed to speak.
I'm sorry, I hope you understood, and I miss you. I am sorry if it bothered you
your lovingly,
Aaron
Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
Danforth: You misunderstand, sir; I cannot pardon these when twelve are already hanged for the same crime. It is
not just
What does the statemene indicate about Danforth's agenda?
Offering pardons will not allow him to stop witchcraft from happening.
Everyone accused should be convicted.
He wants to do only what is "just" and good.
He has to protect his reputation, and if he pardons them, then people will think he did not do his job well.
Answer:
Acting as a judge in the Salem trials, Deputy Governor Danforth is determined to preside over a just proceedings. He is representing not only himself but his office within Massachusetts. As both a politician and a public servant, Danforth is keenly aware of his own reputation and his responsibility to the colony’s people.
The “sir” to whom he is responding is Reverend Hale, who has just stated: “You must pardon them,” referring to Proctor and others who continue to claim their innocence. By the time Danforth he makes this response, a dozen people have already been hanged for witchcraft. The proceedings have gained publicity not only in New England but also throughout the rest of the colonies. To change course at this point would be a serious error, Danforth believes; it would cast doubt on all of the court’s previous decisions, which had sent so many people to their deaths. Although he sees that innocent people will be killed and surmises that some of those already killed...
Answer:
He has to protect his reputation, and if he pardons them, then people will think he did not do his job well.

james is not more ______ than peter(clever/ cleverer/cleverest)
Answer:
clever
Explanation:
In this case, you are attempting to describe and compare two different people. Many words use superlatives to compare people like fast/faster/fastest. However, the word clever does not use superlatives. When comparing people's cleverness adverbs such as less, more, or most should be used. In this sentence, the adverb more is already used, so the base form of the word, clever, should be used.
