1 Scrutinize (scrutinise in England) should also be the gerund, like 'turning' and 'modifying' - therefore, scrutinizing. ' 2 The audience is reliant (or, relies) upon what the commentator conveys, in order to be brought the events as if they were on the terrace or seated ringside. 3 Perfect 4 'Mere' is not quite the right word here, small or meagre would suit.

- Mere has two uses in English, one is a small body of water (like a small lake) and the other is descriptive, "a mere five pounds for my phone?
- That's an insult".

1 Scrutinize (scrutinise in England) should also be the gerund, like 'turning' and 'modifying' - therefore, scrutinizing. I, personally, would phrase the last sentence 'Will their relationship withstand such arguments?'
