Exercise 4. Revise the paragraph for inconsistencies in tense. Make all the verbs in past tense. The train rumbled, shake and then stop so violently that many of the passengers are flung from their seats. Nobody knew what had happened, but people remain calm, brushed themselves off, and waited for the train to start up again. Instead, five men suddenly enter the first car. They are dressed in army clothing and carry guns. The tallest, who appears to be the leader, orders the passengers not to move. Two girls who think it is a joke giggle, but a threatening look from one of the gunmen quickly silences them.
Exercise 5. Revise the paragraph for inconsistencies in person and number. Make all nouns and pronouns plural. What can we do to minimize pesticide poisoning of our people? One immediate task is to warn as many agricultural workers in our communities as you reach about the dangers of these chemicals. You can secure additional information from consumer and ecology groups, whose work we should support. The long-range task is to understand the operations of transnational corporations and international financing institutions in our economy and to disseminate this understanding so that you can develop a citizenry which will eventually use his or her democratic power to put a stop to the exploitation of their resources and people by foreign corporations.
