Where are the errors? I cannot identify them.

Hi, guys! First of all, I already appreciate your entering in my thread. Justifying this creation, I am having some problems with some phrases that were asked to had their errors identified and fixed. As I am a Brazilian and all the English I know, I learnt day-at-day, I cannot identify them.

I will make an exam which can change my life forever in the next month, so I'm trying to improve my English since my subscription and it is getting strengthened now.

The sentences are:

1 - Less than ever doubt that global warming is real, and man made;

2 - In fact, only recently has the wall separated traditional occupation for men and women started to crumble;

Here I believe that the error is here "has the wall separated". I think the correct is: "the wall which has separated"

3 - When our hearts stop to send us messages, then we must worry;

4 - Gyrating oil prices - with the exception of a brief spike during the Gulf War - have become a thing of the past;

5 - Even scientists are not always on agreement. (I really can't imagine the error in this sentence).

6 - It was important for a dead body to remain as nearly intact as possible in order that it might enter to the afterlife;

7 - He did not see how any dog could get into the garden;

8 - And is consistent with the overdevelopment of one power at the expense of the rest;

9 - Under this system, it is said, many criminals are acquited;

I would really appreciate your help. There are many sentences, in many of them I can find the error, but not in these.

Thank you!

Hi, Clive, you surely helped me.

Are you certain of those phrases have no errors? I'm asking you this because the question says that these sentences I posted are wrong and there are errors on them.

In the fifth sentence, are you sure we use "in"? In this site it is said that we use "on" to agree:

Could you explain why we don't use the plural form in this sentence?

Ok, I understand now why we can't use the plural form. Soon I will bring more questions because I'm a bit busy right now with other problems!
