Explanation Sentence Correction The honor killings that have been perpetuated by societies are exacting a deadly toll on vulnerable individuals, exacerbating the excruciating norms further. Explanation In this sentence, there are four errors: one is related to the use of incorrect verb form; the second is related to the use of articles; the third is related to the use of relative pronouns; the last is related t o wordiness. Error 1: Incorrect Verb Form (“having been perpetuate”) Error 2: Unnecessary “the” Before “Societies” The word “societies” is a general plural noun, so “the” is not needed unless referring to specific societies. Error 3: Incorrect Use of “Which” Instead of “Who” The relative pronoun “which” is used for things (objects, ideas, animals).
