Sentence Correction?
Hi all,
I have got some sentences which were extracted some fact-related web sites. I'm not sure sf these sentences are grammatically correct or not. Punctuation is also important for me. Here are the sentences:
The Japanese developed an electric car in 1949 that could travel 200km on a single charge.
There is a fish that causes hallucinations when eaten and were used as a recreational drug by the Roman Empire.
Due to the gender imbalance, by the year 2020, 24 million Chinese men will be unable to find a spouse.
The only Japanese survivor of the Titanic was branded a coward in Japan for having dishonored himself by not going down with the ship.
Nokia was once famous as a manufacturer of toilet paper.
The average dog can learn 165 words, count up to 4 or 5 and even have a basic understanding of arithmetic.
Bangladesh has more people than Russia, despite Russia being almost 119 times as large.
60% of all humans live in Asia.
When driving in Europe, a reflective jacket is needed, by law, for every seat the car has, whether or not people are using them.
3.2 billion people, or 46.4 per cent of the global population watched the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
I'm looking for the teacher's and contributor's evaluation. Thanks.

Hi Mister Micawber.
I think all of the sentences are OK. But there are some subject verb agreement questions in my mind.
For example
The average dog can learn 165 words, count up to 4 or 5 and even have a basic understanding of arithmetic.
I think the average dog has a plural meaning here, but I'm not sure.
