Hi, I would like to know into what word(s) I should change the one(s) below each question.

(1) Even elite universities like Harvard itself have experienced a similar decrease. Moreover, the decline seems to have become steeper in recent years. There is talk of a crisis into the humanities.

into

(2) Perhaps some humanities disciplines really have become less relevant to the exciting and fast-changing world in which we live. I state these possibilities without reaching a judgment about any of it.

it

(3) I am a philosopher, so you would be justified ever in suspecting bias in my view. Fortunately I can draw on an independent report by the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute (GDI), a Swiss think tank, to support my claim.

ever in

Thank you.
