0First Error: Norman Borlaug believe that it is a moral obligation to stop world hunger through the means of genetically engineered foods in which he stated:02br
02br
00So, should I had use 01font00[have used] 02font00"believes" instead of believe? 01font00If Norman is still alive and hasn't changed his opinion, yes you will need the present tense - he believes 02font02br
02br
00Second Error: Brian Halweil, a staff researcher at the Worldwatch Institute, claims that genetically engineered food will not help end world hunger because instead of increasing the food supply, the bioengineered foods will be charge at a higher-yield crops the farmers develop since the biotechnology companies will have more control over the farmers and these businesses will patent the foods.02br
02br
00So, how is the word choice "charge" is incorrect? 01font00The word is correct, the tense marker is wrong. Will be charged.02font02br
02br
00Third Error: In respond to changes in the environmental changes,...02br
02br
00What was the exact word error there? Should I omit "In" to start the sentence with "Responding"? 01font00Either "in response to..." or "responding to..", depending on what follows.02font02br
02br
00Fourth error: ...cloning will be an advance where it will undermines the human race...02br
02br
00Should the word "undermines" be "undermine" instead? 01font00Correct - future tense. It will undermine...02font02br
02br
00Fifth error: ...its applications toward generation of newborn children could have negative consequences such as birth defects.02br
02br
00Should "generation" be "generations" instead? 01font00If you mean more than one, then yes, generations.02font02br
02br
00Sixth Error: . . .Lee M. Silver believe than cloned children will be no different in biological terms from everyone else of the species.02br
02br
00Is "than" suppose to be "that" instead? 01font00Correct. Also, if it's just Lee Silver, the verb should be 'believes' (see number 1).02font02br
02br
00Seventh Error: . . .the clone might be viewed as an economic good that as made rather than a person who was born.02br
02br
00So, what can I substitute the word "that" in the sentence then? 01font00The whole phrase 'an economic good that as made' is not correct here - something like 'a manufactured commodity' would be better.02font02br
02br
00Eighth error: . . .genetic engineering is an unethical ordeal it is back up by the fact. . .02br
02br
00So, is the word "back" suppose to be "backed"? 01font00Correct, 'backed up'02font02br
02br
00ninth error: Also, it is our duty to use our intellect to pursuit more knowledge and achieve new scientific breakthrough.02br
02br
00So, what can I do about the word "to" in the sentence to make the sentence politically correct? 01font00'to pursuit' should be 'to pursue', and 'breakthrough' should be 'breakthroughs'. It's not a politically incorrect sentence - but it does sound a bit like we are the helpless tools of relentless scientific endeavour. You could soften it by saying something like "We feel driven to use our intellect.."02font02br
02br
00tenth error:. . .genetically engineered pathogens that could either use be in biowarfare, recombined in a toxix form from harmless, rapidly mutating engineered organisms. . .02br
02br
00So, why is "use" is an incorrect word choice. 01font00Word choice is correct, verb tense is incorrect. Could be used. You also have 'either' in here - check that you have 'or' later on in the sentence.02font0-
