Question IV: Identify 10 errors in the following passage and correct them. (1.0 pt)

New technology has made a tremendous impact in modern life and communications. For example, went are

the day when newspapers were full of misprints and spelling errors. These are now virtually things of the past.

Whilst it cannot be always said that the content of some newspapers have improved, and it may be truth that

the moral standards of others are opened to question, no one would deny that the papers itself are more visual

attractive than they ever were before. Nevertheless, if you opt for a paper which has its origin in the more

dubious gutter press, it is unlikely that you can expect to find accuracy, for the fact is usually blended with

fiction and seems to be of little import, so long as the paper wins the major battles of the circulation war.
